Dark rich cherry and plum note with a floreal hint. Soft tannins with a medium oak finish. I found it very drinkable despite a reasenable level of acidity. The wine present a strong body and will only improve with another couple of years in the cellar.

Ripe plum, lightest hint of white pepper, floral aromatics. Made with Abel, 5, 667 and 777 clones. The tannins are very refined but and not very present initially but hang in a pleasantly ling lingering experience. This wine is ready for sure but may have another interesting 5 years ahead of it.

Beautiful red fruit with a metalic touch. Bright acidity and good length. A treat for Pinot lovers

Quite a bit of spice and a healthy dash of fruit. Not a lot of length but pleasant drinking nonetheless.

There's a generous wash of plush, velvety fruit with a very smooth texture and a touch of spice. This wine is easy to like. Perhaps not a lot of length, nor a wine to contemplate, but who cares? Just enjoy.

Ricj and spicy. Long peppery cherry flavour. Needs another year. Very drinkable now. Good body.
