Medium to dark purple with minimal garnet. Raspberry cherry with green notes. Palate is blackberry to raspberry with tobacco and cherry. Decanted 1/2 the bottle which knocked down some acid and brought the fruit to front. Try a 2 hour decanting next time.

Nose of blackberry, slight French oak, spice. Medium bodied, good mix of mature tannins and refreshing acidity on the finish. Doesn't strike me as particularly complex, but seems well balanced. Also seems to still have some life in it given the acidity, so that it may still gain in complexity.

Good energy with decent follow thru on day 1. Day 2 The fruit falls off and this bottle became more bitter.
