Fresh plums with vanilla, walnut and a hint of tobacco on the nose. A medium-bodied red with a juicy, fluid mid-palate, coated by supple, soft tannins and a creamy finish. Good length here.

This is serious & young but balanced, nuanced & complex. They are shortening the time in oak, as they feel they have better & younger barrels & think the wines need less time in oak & more time in bottle.
WE 93 : aromas of vanilla, spice, tobacco and dried berry fruits carry this wine. On the palate, the flavors include cherry, plum, mocha and a plethora of spices. Chocolate and tobacco flavors along with general warmth crowd the finish.
94pts James Suckling
Aromas of perfumes and violets with blueberries follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine and show muscle and length. Linear and toned. Give this time to open and show you more.
