Great bright red colour. Red cherries and strawberry with tobacco adding complexity. Still has good structure. Bright acid. Chalky tannins. Typical vinosity. Perhaps leave a few years, although enjoyable now, especially with food. Good.

Very interesting wine and I agree with the descriptions others have provided but I think it deserves a higher score. It could go another 5 years with decent storage, maybe longer.

Short decant, the nose is strawberry, cherry, light scrub brush. The palate is mellow and a little simple, with much the same as the nose to sample. This is better paired with food that is mellow, the acidity will balance out with a meat dish well.
