  darkest red, blueish --- Nose fresh, cherries and blueberries, saline, some nutty aspects --- Palate fresh, nice acidity, cherries, orange peel, acidity almost citrus like, like this al lot, some almond, nice tartness, some mint --- Finishes on fruity and tart aspects. Very nice, so tasty, freshness and fruitiness are wonderful, tartness and acidity adding class.

  Dark red, purple edges --- Nose fresh, nice green aspects, sour cherry, somewhat cool while elegant, nice wood notes, cardboard, earthy tones, nutty notes --- Palate fresh, watery, red fruit, cherries, some strawberry, almond, nice acidity, so fresh and vivid, classy tannins, medium body, some herbal aspects, again very nice greenish aspects --- Finishes on its tart character with red fruit flashing back. I like it very much, elegant, classy, nice fruit, shy wood aspects with wonderful green and tart nuances. Upside potential.

  Decanted for three hours. There is still a powerful heaviness to this wine but it is opening up versus when I tried it a few years back. Very enjoyable.

  Really starting to hit a gorgeous spot
  Very red fruit profile
  Brings to mind sweet jam and bourbon cranberry
  Still has a lot of power
