Close to pop and pour. Not juicy, but lots of red fruit — strawberry, raspberry, cherry (the pits). Also plum. Some leather. Minerals and clay. A little violet. Dried rose petals. Still has some grip — plum-skin-like. Acidity balances it all very nicely. Really good. 92. — a month ago
Pop and pour (practically) — can’t be helped.
NOSE: something savory, blackberry, and a little violet. Mild clove. A little clay. Something…Mexican?
TASTE: juicy, purple cassis and clay. Fresh and tasty. The kind of wine I like, basically. Blueberry pie after air. 93.

Pop and pour, This stuff is consistently good and true to style and a high value. Cherry, cassis, toffee and bitter chocolate tannins, some savoury herbs, leaves. Would love to age it a bit. 89…plus. — a month ago
Super juicy dense berries. Glassy smooth tannins. Too young, but can’t be helped. Love it. 93. — a month ago
