Very smooth tannins. Super drinkable goes down easy and doesn't linger.

Smooth, not funky at all, tasty but a bit flat. Could pair with stronger food.

Extremely smooth and straightforward. While it lacks in subtlety, it is still quite enjoyable.

Silky but without deep flavors I would expect from this vintage. Wonderful taste but lacking fulfillment in multiple layers of flavor.

Expressive nose displaying aromas of black currant, ripe dark plum, liquorice, violets and cedar. Balanced in the mouth with velvety tannins and a very decent juicy concentration. Medium+ finish. A wonderful value.

Smoldering. Smoke and embers of earth & dry fruit that slowly burn brighter. Still young. Yet to erupt into a full-bodied flame, but serene, balanced, and already glows.
