A solid, chunky wine, its fruit layers of jammy plums over light tannins. It has some richness along with an attractive juicy character that gives a dusty, almost sweet aftertaste.

Very ripe wine that tastes of the heat and sunshine of the vintage. It is warm, the peach and pineapple flavors partnering the toast and spicy vanilla. The wine has some power, maybe missing out on acidity.

A ripe and rounded wine, with friendly apricot and lemon flavors, richly toasty, leaving great acidity and bright fruits at the end.

A red fruit flavored wine, light and packed with acidity. The wine may not have the richness of the vintage, but it does have a fine line in red cherry flavors. Drink now.

A light and softly fruity wine, its acidity giving a lift to the yellow fruits and toast that rounds out the acidity. Clean and attractive.

Very lightweight wine, with some attenuated fruit and a dry character. The attraction is the fresh acidity that does offer some compensation for the overoaked flavor.
