Very pretty mulberry, almost eggplant, color. Full body structure. Nose is blueberry, vanilla. Flavors of blackberry and dark cherry are dominant. Finish is a little abrupt, but I believe will soften with time. Acidity is nice. This is a very enjoyable wine.

Took awhile to open up both on Day 1 and Day 2. Nose was tight. Nose of dark fruits and black licorice. Black cherry and nice minerality on the palate. Tannins were still very prevalent. A little overwhelming. Think this still needs more time to smooth out.

Vibrant bouquet. Flavors are of boysenberry, cherry, black cherry and some black licorice. Elegant texture. Tannins are still medium to firm. Still has plenty of room to age.
