This wine has classic smoky fruit, with a delicious layer of ripe raspberry flavors. It is is stalky, although that is a function of youth rather than underripe fruit. It needs time to fill out, so drink from mid-2016. Think about serving it lightly chilled.

A stalky character to this wine comes from the vintage. It offers acidity, tight spice and fresh red-currant fruit flavors that leave the wine one-dimensional. The aftertaste is very crisp.

Rich, smoky, cherry fruits are impressively forward and ripe in this young wine. It has firm tannic structure that comes through the dried fruit and the edgy texture. Drink now and until 2017.
