Cherry candy & a bit of oak. Still, it was great with a pasta bake at dinner

Currant and blackberry with cherry and strawberry notes. Transitions nicely to earthy/woody flavors like bramble, leather, and oak. Full flavor and body, dry, mildly tannic.

A little lifeless. Not much on the nose and predominantly dry fruit on the palate and short finish. Didn't improve with time.

Classic and nice strongness. Good with Pasta or Meat but nothing special that make it unique
