Pale gold in glass. Very ripe apple, pear, honey. Super rich. Flavors follow to the palate. Ripe apple from the attack onto the finish. Honey, hints of citrus. Quite bready on the transition to the finish, super lengthy finish. This is really, really good.

Ruby, fairly translucent. Ripe strawberry and cherry on the nose. Explosive nose. A good hit of oak and vanilla to boot. Huge red fruit, ripping acid, concentration city. Turns a. Little astringent on the finish. Very imposing at this stage. It's a baby. Give it rest.

Ruby red, fairly translucent in glass. Big nose of bright sour cherry, forest floor, some clove. Very vibrant. On the palate huge sour cherry, concentration city, oak is noticeable but not overbearing. Ripping acidity takes over on the midpalate, still a little imposing on the long finish. This is a baby, but it's really, really good. Excellent. Wow.

Nose of bright red fruit. Cherry cola, strawberry. A faint backdrop of forest floor. Not over the top. Interesting nutmeg thing going. On the palate, silky attack of bright and ripe red fruit. Definitely cherry cola. Very new world, but good acid and reasonable tannin. Delicious city.
