"Bright fresh violet, cinnamon, wild strawberry and rhubarb. Fairly rich and concentrated, with chunky tannins and considerable weight and structure."

"A wiry red, with cherry, strawberry, grass and mint flavors defined and backed by a spine of chewy tannins. Reveals licorice and tobacco elements as this turns pinched on the lingering finish. Be patient. Best from 2026 through 2042."
