Gorgeous fruit. Big, brambly and expressive. Loads of dirt and also high toned mid season cherry. Gorgeous. What one wants at this level. Palate is elegant and very pretty with juicy, brambly, wild fruit and then finished distinctly mineral. Lovely wine.

The ultimate punch above its weight wine. Stunning nose of deep cherry, earth, spice, mint. Really open. Palate has terrific, vivid and delicious fruit. So fresh and deep. Wow. Not complex but so perfectly executed. Great statuesque wine. Poised with terrific balance and length.

Black cherry, earth, and a touch of toasty oak. Not immensely complex but ripe, balanced and delicious. Better in 2-3 years.

Pineapples, mangos, melons & cream soda on the nose. Slightly nutty? Spices, pineapples, medium acid, full bodied. Delicious stuff.
