Kind of all over the place nose. Juicy, hot, thin palate. Definitely showing heat of the vintage. Maybe air gets it drinkable. Not right now.

Very floral nose. Roses, violets and lily scents with strawberry and under ripe cherry on the nose. Baking spices and pie crust on the nose as well. Very nice ripe cherry flavors on the palate with strawberry and raspberry rhubarb types of flavors. It finishes with a hint of cinnamon and cedar. Perfect wine to go with anything that includes marinara sauce.

Мощные сухофрукты, дуб, ваниль, шоколад. Очень яркий бочковой аромат. Хорошая структура, насыщенный сухофруктный вкус, горчинка. Очень сушащее послевкусие, танины. 14.5/20 (81/100)
