Nose is quite alcoholic with a quite subdued fruit; all the action happens in the mouth instead. Light to medium-light body, really nice sour cherry and long finish, it's really pleasant on the palate. The tannins are quite supple and it’s much more enjoyable than the initial aroma would lead you to believe. It may have benefited from more decanting.
Edit: after a longer decanting the nose opened up a bit more. That said, it's still dominated by alcohol rather than fruit.
