  Melvin… note below was spot on. Cranberry tartness to the fruit with high acid. Thinking this needs a few years to start to balance out.

  American theme at Jungle Boy: Still very primary but had an appealing high-toned style. Some stem influence, good complexity but slightly tart red fruit.

  This is obviously super young and still pretty primary, so will hold off on a score. Crimson in the glass and fairly translucent. This really evolved on the nose and palate over several hours from a tart cherry / tart raspberry flavor initially to getting some sandalwood, earth, and a more integrated fruit mixture, though tart red fruits remained dominant. There is a nice salinity in the mouthfeel as well. Tannins are fairly limited, acidity is quite high and gives this a very racey nature. If drinking now decant for 3-5 hours, my other bottle I am holding for at least 5 years, when I suspect this will evolve into a very pleasant wine.

  SLDS February 2021: Fruit driven nose - plenty of red and black cherries, raspberry and blackcurrants. Palate is quite well balanced, with a touch of sweetness from the fruit at the edges but good carry and length.
