Interesting vintage. Between pale and medium ruby color. Aromas of raspberry, black currant and smoke. Light, airy, almost Pinot like. Great red fruit, blackberry and black tea on the finish.

Stunning. Sour cherry notes and sassafras through the roof. Highly recommended at this age

Jammy and spicy on the nose with notes of blackberry and plum. Rich and easy on the palate with lots of juiciness. Loads of fruit upfront leads to notes of herbs, earth and spice. The finish is smooth and easy.
