Loved how this was showing. CF dominant, lifted and fresh with such deep concentration and purity of fruit. This has stuffing as well, a structure that can support aging I would guess. Pretty layered and complex for a “second” wine.

Deep and dark ruby red. Perfumey nose, with purple floral notes. Some dark berries and light baking spices as well as cola too. Lots of vanilla, and soft black fruits on the palate. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Long finish. Really approachable.

So easy to drink. Great purchase to drink sooner while the Continuum rests for a while. Young red fruit delivers.

Superb. Nicely perfumed, does everything right. Super young but already wonderful.
