In one sentence: sweet game American barbecue smoke wrapped around elegant dark berry. Many layers of different kinds of enticing smoke and plenty of leather on the nose. Developing but still quite fruity in the core. A long, long intriguing finish with a hint of volatile acidity keeps it lively and enticing.
Tasty out of the bottle, but great after two hours and then some.

Floral and lithe on the nose. Super clear strawberry through the mouth and finish. Too much of a sweet, candied, acidic sensation through the finish for me. Vineyard typicity, to the extent I can speak for it, seems quite real.
