Very nice acidity with some fresh sour red fruit notes. Enough body to satisfy. This wine should really sit for another 4 years to uncover the complexity under neath the tannins and broaden the mid palate.

Dusty, smoky, lots of pepper. A hint of ripe grapes in the front. Lovely. Wish I was patient enough to try it tomorrow.

This is a great value. Medium/light bodied. A little spice to it. I'd buy again.

Some barnyard on the nose. Black fruit on the palate in the beginning, long tart finish with a herbal middle palate. This will also keep for a bit

I'm obsessed. Great full bodied red. Easy to drink, but not too fruity
