Nice colour, nice dark centre and vibrant rim. Cedar oak and a touch of mint with the fairly rich dense raspberry. A bit too high acidity for my liking but a good tug from the tannins. Overall a good wine asking for a good chunk of protein.

Was gifted this. Still EXTREMELY young. From reading notes on other vintages, I probably would have enjoyed this more in a couple of years. Tannins are strong in this one still.

Aromas of cherry and wood plank. Smooth and simple.
