Well balanced - smooth but not silky. Tart cherry, especially on the nose. A little acid in the after taste (sour keys - I like it) but doesn't otherwise have a long finish.

Yup, funky nose at start, blows off after a few minutes. Still a hint of funk on the roof of the mouth later, but pleasant. Well balanced tannins v. acid. Great legs. Ruby garnet colour. Muted fruit - red cherry - and some leather. Very nice.
