Echo merryberry. This was PnP. Way too young. Needs time to integrate. Too ripe and sweet for me right now, but I can sense the potential. Tasted like a current vintage paso wine. I would have liked to have decanted this for a while to see how it integrated.

Dark magenta. Cassis, spice, earth, and violet nose. Medium to full bodied, blueberries, black cherries, green olives, grainy tannins, good acid, cedar, dark chocolate, and a dry medium to long finish. Very approachable now, but I think patience will be rewarded.

Enjoyable, but exact same as previous note. Too young. Hope to try this in some time.

Intense dark fruit, chocolate, Chinese 5 spice, liquorice, herbal, earthy. Firm palate, muscular, dusty, liquorice, dark fruit, longish length, needs more time.
