I had the 2017 vintage and it was red berries (cherry and raspberry) on the nose with a hint of chocolate. As I closed my eyes and sipped it, it turned to dark fruit (plums) and mocha, almost like molé with the acidity and spice. Almost like a plum or grape soda. Very fun! Tons of acid that softened after a bit for a full velvety finish.
