A bit lighter than I am used to with this wine. Usually it is closed for business and needs some time to open. Red cherry fruit balanced by some fine grained tannins. A bit of spice. Very long finish on this. Excellent

Late bottle for XMAS night. Fits the bill about why Januik often ends up in my cart whether at the grocery store or online. The very is clean, has great depth and varietal character, and oak is used sparingly - at least how it comes across to my taste buds.

Day 1: While 2020 is a vintage all over the map this is solid overall. Spice, mild smoke, cassis, minerals, earth and black licorice. Medium finish and very drinkable. 91 points Day 2: Similar to day 1. This is not even close to the quality however of other vintages. 90 points Recommendation: Pass and get another vintage.

Wasn’t one of my favorites but still drinkable. Detected a bit of smoke taint. Think it needs to lie down awhile, too.
