This was drinking beautifully tonight with lots of rich, penetrating, dark red fruit, Asian spice notes, earthy sous bois and enough acidity to keep it well balanced. There's still a fair amount of structure on the midlength finish which leads me to believe that this has a long life ahead of it.

This is beautiful tonight with penetrating dark red fruit, lots of earth and sous bois, Asian spice and some leathery, tobacco notes on the long finish with admirable depth and concentration. Double decanted for about 2 hours. Excellent!!

This has a very pretty red fruit and floral nose that leads into a palate that's all penetrating dark red fruit, earth, sous bois, some Asian spice notes and some hints of smoke. The tannins on the long finish are still abit on the firmish and leathery side, but all in all, this is deep, rich and delicious. This is drinking nicely tonight after several hours of air and, in my opinion, is just a baby.

Dec Kick-off @ Crab@Bay!: Cherries, spices, slight cola notes which got me thinking this may be a Cote Rotie. Not bad!

Lots of sour cherry. Earthy, strict, lots of acidity but also lots of extraction to support it. Finishes a bit dry.
