Young garnet color. Bright and translucent. Fruit forward nose. Notes of dark cherries, plums, some wood. Very jammy. Great balance and texture in the mouth.

Deep dark garnet and barely translucent. Bright nose with notes of plum, black cherry, herbs, and dried brush. Impactful in the mouth. Rich and chewy. In the zone.

Good wine but not complex. Good spicy wine but lacking richness. Nothing wrong but just not exciting.

Bought on release and while I’ve had some good bottles…. This was not one of them. Looked more like tea than wine. Tasted more like vinegar than wine. Total failure 😞
