Opaque in color, with a miniscule raspberry rim, this wine has a moderately fragrant nose. With the first sniff, there’s an impressive lift of fresh aromas of camphor, cardamom and loganberry. The fruit is reserved, suggesting it has likely been a few years since it was released. It is now just a bit past its prime and ready to be drunk up. Those who like savory flavors will appreciate its evolution to tertiary tones, particularly the sanguine notes on the modest finish. Drink now–2019.
