Squeeky clean nose, red cherries and plums, and red grapes. Stoney mineral, flowers. no noticeable oak.
Austere palate. Cherries, flowers, grapes, stoney mineral. Firm, delineated tannins (not unpleasant, but firm), lots of acid, and a surprisingly long finish for such an austere wine. I suspect that in a few years this will be the wine of the bunch.

Stewed and overripe cherry, along with moderate oak are the dominate aromas. But underneath there are hints of earth and spice, which keep this interesting.
On the palate, firm, spicy, moderate weight. The fruity is fresher, but still stewey. pretty, polished tannins, moderate oak.

Candied red plum, ginger, cola, jello, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, lots of oak, but the sweet fruit dominates. The candied character is a little distracting, but overall it's a really clean, attractive nose. Earth?
On the palate, intense tannins are almost hidden by rich, sweet, black fruit. Plum, black cherry, candied raspberry, the oak barely even shows on the palate except in the sweet character of the wine. The finish is long, fruity and tannic. This is a really tasty, well made wine, but again, where's the earth?
