Bit simple, dilute. Oak sticks out. Decent quaff.

2024/9. Basically similar to the last bottle, but a little more integrated and open from the start - wild red fruit, forest, iron.

One of the few ‘affordable’ burgh producers left and sometimes this winery makes
good wines. This is one of them. 12.5%. Blackberry nose, tart cranberries and lime.
It's young and needs a couple of years to soften up. Not a long term cellar keeper.
Nicely done but not very complex. At 60$ including tax not worth it. Its a 30$ wine.
And even at that price no match for the 2018 Pinot Noir from E&M Baden in Germany
- not even close.
