A lovely nose of roses and plum. Floral notes. Quite lifted. Great balance on the palate. Not too hot and a lovely textured finish.

Great but dense fruit. Thick dried cherry. Heady perfume- violets, black cherry, salinity. This is lovely, but young.

Possibly one of my favorite pours of 2018 so far // bright, nearly high-toned red fruit / balanced oak, slight spice, mint and purple flowers / luxurious and deliriously delicious - and now drinking so well in this time window
