Correct. Quite 'made', though blue fruit is welcome. Fine oak is there, though not convincing in terms of integration. Pleasant, though edge of volatility detracts. |
Inky and dense, has a slight formic acid character. Palate sees dense and dark fruit, bit clipped at the back palate. Bit arms and legs. |
Vibrant cab mac colour and lift. Juicy, touch of colour, brings some varietal stuff in leaf and softness. Pretty nice style. |
blueberry, cranberry, light red fruited edge to mix with the black. oak in balance on nose. cedar. med grainy tannins mix with fresh fruits and spice. well balanced while still showing good fruit and spice. pleasant. |
