No notes. Drinking well. Pale garnet, fading to brown meniscus. N: Spice, floral element. P:plush, interesting texture that opens up over about 45 minutes. Fine filigreed wine. I loved where it was over the meal. One left, will drink soon. 13% abv.

Lots of finesse over a solid, old world structure. To be had preferably with food, as it really seems to enhance the flavors and overall balance (which is outstanding).

Medium garnet with tawny rim. Clean developed nose. Medium (+) acidity, medium (-) body, medium (-) tannins, which were really ripe & sweet. Medium (+) flavours of red fruit (cherries, raspberries) combined with light oak (smoke, tobacco), mineral notes (earth, tar) & animal (leather). Aftertaste dominated by a combination of sweet and pungent spice. Long length. Overall, a very good wine, with still a great concentration of fruit, complex palate and a great length! At peak - should be drunk soon (1-2 years max). Cheers!

Gorgeous floral aroma, leather, red berries, dill.
Palate more austere, fine acidity, some subdued fruit emerging. Very good with food as did not overwhelm the pasta we were having alongside.
Nice wine.

Very light, almost pinot noir like, but with solid acidity and a tasty red fruit profile.
