Pale yellow, clear with a nice aromatic nose of ripe melon, wet rocks, lemon verbena, and light whiffs of pear. Light to medium body with a contrasting sweet/tart palate, with fresh pineapple, wildflower, light honey, and hints of petrol. Short clean finish.

Deep ruby color. Young, fresh nose of wild herbs, deep cherry, red fruit skins. Dry, medium weight on the palate with silky texture, and flavors of spicy red fruit, medium oak, stones, cherry skin, and pepper. Really nice.

Two bottles, tasted sidy-by-side.
Bottle #1: Medium brick color, slight haze. Deep aroma of kirsch and leather, with spice and smoky hints of meat and earth and definite hints of barnyard. Palate is medium-full with chewy red fruit, lingering oak, smoke, and wonderful leather. Amazingly fresh acidity remaining.
Bottle #2: Medium brick, but nearly clear. Huge nose of sage, herbs, mineral, cherry. Much different from bottle #1, sharper and more focused. Delicious palate of bacon fat, dried herbs, mineral, leather, and macerated red fruit.
