Light nose - a whiff of distant alpine berry

Light bodied, with not too much expressive fruit. Mostly cran/Pom , with the tiniest of spice.
Back end acidity with little wood.

Bright medium ruby red. Needed a bit of time to open up. A bit spicy on the nose with pepper, anise, a little floral and red bramble berries. Medium tannins (5/10) balanced with the acidity. Similar on the palate with a light plus body. Roses on the palate with dark strawberries, and white pepper. Long and lingering finish. Would leave for a year or so before trying again. Drink till 2023. (89+)

Smooth, a bit of spice and red fruit but not overpowering. Would definitely have again!

Выпито с Еленой. Красные ягоды с сильным вкусом табака и предложением земельных запахов. Отличный экземпляр орегонского пино
