Still super youthful. Bright black cherries and a whisper of vanilla both on the nose and in the mouth. Tannins are fine and firm. Good acid and a light but lingering finish. Great Friday night quaffer. Modern and clean. This stands a very good chance of making the regular house rotation. That is if we had such a thing. Cheers!

Sweet, vanilla, coffee on the nose. Red fruit reduction, vanilla, sweet on the palate. Medium acid, integrated tannins. Alcohol in check.
