Good depth of fruit paired with earthy underlying notes. In a good place.

Nice but less distinctive than I was hoping. Good pairing with some seared flank steak involtini. Nice fruit, but lacking a bit of depth and acid. Tannins are quite resolved.

1hr+ decant but probably not needed. Tea, eucalyptus, and musty cherries on the nose. Same on the palate with some green elements. Medium minus depth. Medium plus finish. Maybe an off bottle as it doesn’t taste like past vintages or maybe I should have PnP’d.

Amazing - we scored this bottle at a tasting at the winery. Just wish we'd bought more!

Corkage for the win! Great wine, full fruit and smooth finish, nice drying tannins.
