The last year had been kind to this bottle. Still not the most concentrated wine but more balanced between upfront red fruit and the tannic backbone here. It’s in a good spot — 3 years ago

Nicely aromatic, with a spicy yet herbal bouquet. With a fruit aroma I can’t name. Reminds me of the ocean for some reason, so maybe a lemon and vanilla sunscreen aroma? Very smooth mouthfeel, with the spices and mellow lemon and minerals coming through. — 8 months ago
