Chewy tannins and bright, tart cherry/raspberry. Under ripened strawberry on the nose, could use some age but was great with dinner.

Good full ruby-red. Roasted currants, cocoa and tobacco leaf on the nose. Suave, broad and ripe, with a savory quality to the red cherry, chocolate and leather suggestions. Closes medium-long and clean, with a lingering savory echo. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, April 2020)

Excellent. Layered with tons of acidity and tannins. Will age into something special.
