Vinturi + 1 hr decant. Dark garnet color. Strong blue & blackberry with vanilla on the nose. Still has some alcohol aroma as well. Medium palate, dark fruits and some oak towards the finish. Lengthy finish. Drinks we’ll if you let it open, but has plenty of life left. I’ll leave my other two bottles for a couple of years

Not great notes. Popped & poured. String alcohol but not overwhelming. Long legs. Aromas of raspberries & blueberries. Medium to heavy palate. Red berries and cherries on the palate and a big wood not mid palate leading to a lengthy vanilla / oaky finish. Liked it quite a bit. Much better on the second day as the fruit and wood notes integrated better and the wine is more balanced. Will look for more but probably age 3 - 5 years.
