Vibrant, bright and vivid with good purity to the chewy red fruit. Very pleasurable style. High acidity.

Apr 22nd, 2015Dark, rich purple on pour; dark, intense black and purple fruit aromatics that remain intense and vibrant throughout evening; bold, mouth filling blue and black fruit flavors with a pleasing tartness; each glass more rewarding as the evening progressed; lingering finish. If you have any in your cellar, enjoy one in the near future.
