Tobacco, black currant, bell pepper and barbecue sauce. A bit too alcoholic. We compared the 2015 vintage to this 2011 vintage and all agreed the 2015 was much more balanced.

May 4th, 2017Lots of sweet light fruits on the nose. Raspberry, cherry, moderate acidity. Reminds me of a sweet and sour chewy candy. Short finish without lingering tannins. Not a dry wine. Superb to just sip on the patio or inside on a rainy day. Would pair well with sweet fruits and nuts.
