Medium ruby. Brett and sour cherries on the nose. On the palate more brett though not overpowering, high acid, cranberries and raspberries, long finish. I like it, but more natty than I prefer.
Updated to add this is way better and firing on all cylinders on day 2. Still brings the funk, but lush fruit is much more out front balancing the acidity. Definitely give this one a good decant.

Medium gold. Pronounced nose of brioche some funk, on the palate high acid, medium alcohol, full body. Apples almonds, ginger, more oxidized than I prefer, very restrained bubbles, long finish. It packs intensity on the palate but also finishes kind of soft. Good.

Deep ruby. Cinnamon and eucalyptus on the nose. On the palate medium acid high tannin, high alcohol, high tanning. Brooding dark fruit. Rich and powerful. Tannin still in control. Hold.
