A juicy approachability, showing red berries, black tea, and some herbal hints. Savory medium tannins along with lovely acidity. A compact shape, but well-balanced.

Aromas of violets, cherries, hawthorn, dried figs, and bacon, with oak-derived notes of toast and spice. On the palate, it has a high acidity, with tannins that have a coating texture, sweet fruit flavors, and a slightly dry finish.

A sophisticated nose with a prominent clove spice influence from the oak. Intense black fruit, with finely ground tannins and delicious fruit clarity. Savory, but with enough fruit ripeness to keep this very drinkable and lush. Lots to like here!

Deep ruby, with notes of earth, dried mushrooms and dust. Savory, and appears more advanced for its age. Oak dominates the palate, with ripe but chewy tannins.
