P&P. Nose dripping w/fruit, perhaps some heat. Strawberries dominate the palate with a graphite and wood background. Big in the mouth, it seeps everywhere, thick. A long finish but with a hollowness down the middle, and a twang at times. Delightful tannins and intermittent whispers of heat. Very fun.

Dark garnet with medium viscosity in the glass. Explosive black cherry, brett, saddle hide and baker's chocolate on the nose. Secondary pepper and sage. Medium body with cranberry, cherry, red fruit and plum on the palate. Secondary chocolate and spice. Stemmy tannin. Long finish. Has potential, but needs more time to integrate.

Excellent, rich garnet color. Bold stone fruit flavors with moderate tannins. Bit of a tart black cherry finish to the affair. Might lay it down a year or allow it to breath for an hour or so.

it did very well after several hours open, but not decanted. bold fruit balanced, and good acid. drink up, but give it air.

This had a nice front to it but an odd finish. so was good but will wait a little time before I open the next one.
