Solid and smooth. Cherry with moderate acid. Not quite an SLH show stopper, but quite drinkable.

Delicious. Fruity, but with spice. Kept well after opening.

A "robust" pinot noir, strong alcohol, with a bit of cherry spice on the nose. Still tasted a bit heavy on the alcohol, with stale cherries and potting soil, leading to a soft cola spice as it opened up. 14.5% alcohol, maybe consider aging this for a couple of years...

Had to "Pobega" this one. With wife and baby in background. Pretty red fruit, well-balanced. Now back in the cellar with you!
