Cherry preserves with chemical and smoky undercurrents, a hint of petrol; too acidic/aggressive. If it was younger, I might guess it's "austere," but I don't imagine this one improving greatly having been given more time. Strong alcohol aroma. Short finish. More tolerable after it had breathed, not surprisingly. All in all, a blunt, uninteresting experience.

Dry. Low acidity. Medium+ tannins. 14%(?). Medium+ bodied. Medium finish.
13.9% abv. Medium ruby red with pinkish hues. Medium+ legs. Medium intensity aromas of dark berry jam, cedar and leather with a hint of black pepper. Chalky tannins, black cherries on the fruit forward palate. Pretty balanced after opening up over 30 mins. Medium finish with a touch spice.
24hrs. Added inflatable beach ball plastic nose. Added cotton candy on the palate.

A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, cassis, chocolate and spices on finish, a great QPR. www.winelx.com
