Dark ruby. Sour cherry and leather on the nose. On the palate, a bit of generic-old-red-wine sour, but with nice cherry fruit and leather, silky mouthfeel, medium acid, no remaining tannin. Obviously over the bill but still an enjoyable surprise.

Big ripe nose of cassis and oak. On the palate it is obvious that there is just way too much oak. It seemed to integrate a bit with air, however. Low acid, medium tannins. Short finish. Seemed a bit vegetal on the third day and perhaps a bit flabby. Good quaffer, good QPR.
