The aromas grow richer as the wine opens up, with deep cherry, tobacco, and spicy notes, with a medium-bodied and leathery palate where the fruit plays off the acidity to fine affect. Bone-dry, with rich cherry flavors, and velvetty red fruits. An impressive wine for the money.

Phew! Tough work. Intense and packed tight with notes of charcoal, violets, blueberries. Incredibly young and quite a big mouth full. After 6 hours in a decanter it does start to reveal some more nuances characteristics but for now this is primary fruit, heat and teeth gripping tannins. A bit like being punched in the mouth for now - needs 5-8 years to calm down.

    3/4/10, 2:22 PM - I recently opened this, had a similarly "tough" first sip, and then put the cap back on. Three days later I returned and the wine had integrated nicely, and though the ephemeral floral notes on the nose had faded, the palate showed very nice blue and black fruits with a streak of pepper and minerality. Definitely needs time...

Very well made and I know with a little more time this will shine even more, but right now its balance is a little out of focus. Great red fruits, good smooth full body and excellent structure.
