Medium ruby, soft tannins, clove, allspice, crushed gravel. Could use more complexity and structure, it was a bit boring to drink after a glass.

A big, structured Merlot with grippy tannins. Black cherries, cassis, plums, pencil lead, mocha, spice and tobacco.

If blinding, I might’ve thought it was cab except for the lack of a lot of pyrazine.

Sample.

Smoothly sour with a berry fore taste. Avoids a fermented taste yet is fruity and strong.
