“This is quite expressive for a just bottled red with its equally pretty nose of violets, plum and black raspberry. There is good punch and detail to the cool, precise and nicely intense flavors that exhibit a mild touch of austerity on the ever-so-slightly drying finish. I suspect that the sulfur addition from the recent bottling is causing the dryness though it’s hard to say for sure. Drink 2018+” Allen Meadows, Burghound
