Trippy wine. Over-the-top peachy, fruity intensity. Aromatics are very distinctive if a bit one-note. Fascinating structure; delicate at first, then the fierce tannins creep in.

Simple black cherry bomb, weightier than expected. Lacks balance and a little hot. Pretty good with a nice pizza pie though.

Fresh mixed red berries, smoky sulphur quality. Nice acidity following velvet tannins. Cranberry tart-like finish.

Hmmm...where's the granite crushed stone minerality here? No real tannins and jammy cherry and rhubarb.
