Popped & poured. Smoke, mint, and cherries on the nose. Dark cherries on the palate. Well integrated moderate tannins with a decent acidity. Medium finish. Better on day 2. (50+4+12+17+7)

Nose starts off herbal, then red fruits come forward, and later floral notes come through. Palate is mostly cherry. There is good acidity with big chewy tannins. Very slightly hot on the finish, which is long. This needs some time to fully integrate, but shows great promise today. (50+5+12+16+8)
