Very shy and reserved at this stage, one could charitably say subtle but I'd put it more towards the uninteresting side. After a full 24 hours or so of being open hard to pin down the notes but mostly sour cherry with earthy cigar. Tannins at a fairly low intensity as well.

Showing nicely after just a couple of hours of opening. Moderate tannic grip but all things considered well balanced by the ripe dark fruits and underlying cigar. Even better the second night, on the third night still good but in decline.

My notes similar to others. Modern style, very approachable even at this young age. After just 1-2 hours of being open was drinking nicely with ripe lush cherries up front finishing with more subtle cigar and graphite. Soft tannins already well integrated. Drank well next two days, but was best on first night. Not entirely sure if its worth the price but certainly a step up in Bordeaux I've been having recently at half the price.
