Low energy, low complexity, very international, just not at all my style, but drinking very well right now if you like this kind of thing—really soft silky tannins, not showing its alcohol at all, some sweetish vanilla berry fruit.

Deep dark garnet red, nose is a bit tight upon opening. Best to open a bit before drinking could use a decant. Dark fruit, blueberries, chocolate, luxardo cherries. Medium to high tannins. Could use a bit more time in the cellar. Drank 1/3 put it aside and will try again tomorrow but nice wine.

Dark red, almost purple. On the nose: baking spices, leather, red and black fruit. Medium tannins offset by nice acidity. Loads of bright cherries. Very good QPR

Decanted for 2 hours. Lots of licorice, sweet black fruit, clay, touch of graham cracker. A touch hot.
Plush tannins, good balance...Alcohol less pronounced on the palate than the nose.
This is a very pleasant wine and showing well now. I'm also hopeful this will hold up well for some time and I am eager to see how this evolves. Only have one more bottle, so I'll aim to revisit in the second half of the decade. 90-94pts

Red berries, spices, forest floor on the nose. Cherry and raspberry, nice acidity, soft tannins. Again, excellent QPR
