This was surprising in a good way. I expected a burly wine, like a burly NYC night club bouncer. Instead I got a lithe Olympic athlete. No fat on this wine - big but a balanced. Tangerine peel made a surprising appearance.

2018- brighter red fruit, cherry and raspberry. Almost a sweet kitchen spice. Little more of a lingering finish
