For some reason a bit meh but does grow into itself w time. More on the dried fruit/leather spectrum, ie, old school

Wowza, as good as the 14 was, the 15 is frickin amazing, its great now, filled with blood orange flavor, minerals and fresh acidity. It will also age for a long time and be better. What a great buy

Cheap, great acidity and fruit- little sour cherry character. Great pizza wine

Tight and a bit acidic without air. Lots of dark fruit underneath that likely will come out as it opens up. Edit: Aerate/decant. Holds a tart cherry line, but even and round, otherwise. Edit: Gave it a second night (because science). Even better.
