Neil Beckett | Mid-ruby, good luster. Attractive, expressive, well-formed nose, with freshly ripe red cherry and strawberry, and an alluring, faint whiff of white pepper (presumably from some stems). Round, silky, and supple on entry, with adequate concentration and proper grand cu scale and scope; still some tannins to resolve, but these seem to be from fruit (or stems) rather than wood, so it should only be a matter of time, which seems to be on its side. | 91
