Bright red cherries, baking spices, plum, black pepper, and hints of vanilla cola. This vintage drinks brighter and more effervescent than others. Some blackberry and earthy notes provide depth. — a month ago

Tart cherry, mossy earth, raspberry and fresh strawberry, with some raisin notes. Leads with acidity but expresses depth. Better and more expressive as it opens. — a month ago

9.1

Fun and spritzy, great with a moderate chill. Rather dark red, but tastes and performs like a rose with body. Rose water and some funk, plenty of acid and raspberry. Great find. — 8 days ago

9.2

Deep garnet halo and ruby center. Earthy nose with fig and red fruit notes. Still plenty of acid, even after some decanting. It’s a 2018 vintage in 2025, so this can age for several more years. Dark cherry, fig, leather, tobacco, and plenty of tannin balance the rather boisterous acidity. It’s very good now but would be fun to try again in 6-7 years when the acid mellows. — 22 days ago
