Light and fresh and full of fruit. Not as complex and layered as the Fugazi, but enjoyable. Benefits from a slight chill. Perfect party wine.

Day 1: decanted 1 bottle and consumed 3/4 over two hours. The fruit is pretty, but it's a bit one dimensional. Slight belief tilt towards this should be consumed young. But, you may want to hold and revisit in several years, as I admit we might be surprised. Day 2: no development on day 2.

PNP at about 58 degrees. Vibrant ruby in the glass. Nose of red fruits and spice. Maybe a little hot for its lighter body but pleasant overall.

This bottle seemed shut down versus a recent prior bottle that was singing.

Purchased in HK retail, popped and poured at room temperature (c.20 degrees celcius). My first experience with Ochota Barrels. Translucent ruby red, light viscosity. Interesting fresh juicy red fruit nose, just a hint of spice. Light fruit, with some grip, gluggable. Very different from the South Australian Grenache norm.

No note taken. Aromas/flavors of grape bubble gum and red fruits. Very fresh. Very drinkable. Very stable; enough to hold for the couple years and reevaluate.

Treads a fine line between light, easy-drinking, fun-in-the-sun juice, and serious medium-bodied, spiciness. Does so successfully! Fresh red fruits, blueberry, slight black pepper spice, refreshing acidity. Tannins are present but are not upfront and domineering. Could actually handle a chill. Delish
