Dark translucent ruby. Fresh, energetic, truly perfumed nose of crushed red berry, voluminous nostril-filling violets, damp earth. Layers of darker ripe berry, iron granules, iodine, and briar on the deep-drilling palate. Tingling acidity and firm tannin. Longer finish of iron-inflected dark berry fruit. Delicious and brimming with life, with years to go.

-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over 1 – 2 hrs. --
Crystaline red fruit – hard candies – on the Nose. Medium bodied. Fruity – red-fruited; medium+ acidity; 13.9% alc. just a touch noticeable on the back-end. Very enjoyable; drinking well now; clearly in a better place now than it was when I had a bottle 8 years ago. Overall, on the bigger side for Arcadian, but nothing ever gets out-of-control or exaggerated. Drink Now and over the medium term.

Still bright, has tannins, not softened...at least another 5 years pretty comfortably.
