Liked the less fruit driven, more earthy style here. Drink now.

Little more reserved than the biale, but not a wimpy wine. Dried herbs and cherry. Not huge tannins but nice depth of flavor. Very nice. Parker and spectator gave it 94.

Deep ruby color. Very prominent cherry notes, with some more subtle dark fruit. The taste is well balanced, mildly acidity, and a smooth tannin finish. Hints of the barrel, but very light.
