I had hoped to live this. 2013 vintage. Bright and juicy with a nice herb, cracked pepper and tart cherry-strawberry edge. But the aromas and palate are too dominated by a floral- washing machine-soap note. Hopefully that will fall away with time.

Sweet, ripe berry nose (red raspberry, blackberry); ripe, slightly tart fruit on palate. Easy, easy drinking. Give it about 20 minutes in the fridge. Yum.
