Decanted and aired out the little tight beauty. Only the 2014 but has a lot to keep going Years down road. There is nice primary and secondary notes and flavors. With that low ABV the flowers and fruits and that earthy funk take front and center.

I thought this was quite enjoyable. Nice depth of fruit, with some tart and nuance. Had a refreshing note.

Ok, I'll be the contrarian on this one. Feel like I'm drinking Gattinara from a cold vintage, or Snapple peach iced tea made with unripe peaches. I don't know if there is enough fruit to last the amount of time needed to ease the tannins. I might be wrong but don't know that I would want to place a wager on it blossoming into something

Need to hold. A while. Really great after having been open and aired out a while, but this wine is in it for the long haul. 11.9% abv, whaaaat?

This really needs more time or a heck of a lot of air. Very grippy tannins give way eventually to a nice mix of dark fruit.
