A deep color, with bright nose of dark bramble fruit. The palate is balanced with layered tannins, a medium-length finish, and some complexity.

Deep and opulent – ripe fruit, dark cherry, chocolate, peppery spices, vanilla, and smoky. Shows some evaluation. Powerful, with a medium-plus length.

A lovely wine. The intense, ripe, tannins are young but starting to integrate. Lovely notes of dried herbs and spice. Well-made.

Dark plums and brambly fruit. A bit stalky and muted fruit, with bitter almond and mint on the finish.
