Neutral smelling except for some pear and mild apple, while the palate is tangy and linear, with citrus, lemon and green apple flavors. Clangy and ringy on the finish, but solid all around. Drink soon or wait for the upcoming vintage.

Beefed up but still inviting due to blackberry and cherry aromas. The palate is thick and chewy, with soft tannins and low acidity that create chunky flavors of sweet black fruit. Not all that complex but powerful and flavorful, with a mildly syrupy finish.

Slightly green and candied on the nose, but also showing vanilla and sweet cotton candy aromas. The palate is zesty and kind of jumpy, with wiry berry flavors in front of a hard finish. Has qualities but not a harmonious wine.
