The 2020 vintage did not perform as well as past reviews indicated for other vintages. This one had a distracting amount of Brett along with other microbial weirdness, and was just really awkward. No me gusta.

High toned cherries/raspberry, perfume, cinnamon, licorice, eucalyptus, allspice. Refreshing and easy drinking red on a moderate frame.
