Straight away peppermint nose with some cherry and tobacco, peppermint gave way to candy cane on the finish. Quite good.

Straightforward, taste did not develop much from beginning to end. Medium fruit. Mild acidity. Paired well with pork stir fry.

Over ripe. Over extracted. Little varietal character. Disappointed.
