Pale garnet. Cinnamon, toasty spice and dried strawberry. Attractive. Brisk acidity, with dried cherry and herb tones. Integrated, with some chew to the tannins. Ready now. (TJ)

Good bright medium red. High-toned aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, herbs, flowers and spices, with complicating notes of smoked meat and minerals. Bright and taut on the palate, displaying excellent cut and floral lift to the penetrating flavors of red raspberry, spices and minerals. Finishes saline, dry and long, leaving the mouth refreshed. This is still quite young but the tannins are fine. Shows the density of a long, cool growing season.
