Berries and some spice, medium finish, tannins are noticeable but not super bitter (probably this could use another year or so). Sat well over three days, but not much change after first two to three hours. Something I can't identify in the nose - others said butter, I'd almost say soap, but not in a bad sense. Mouth feel is smooth and silky. Nice with pasta, also just sipping sans meal.

Nice tannins. Just a touch of butter like a merlot. Not much fruit.
