Opened and splash aerated, a purplish red to clear on the rim, revealing black cherry, with a mineral core. Sour cherry on an acidic frame, fairly neutral. Day two + under vac-u-vin, this has turned sharp, sour cherry with over plummy notes, acidic and vinegarized. Elements of green strawberry, rhubarb, sour cherry, cooked plum. Best consumed in one setting for sure. Drink now.

PnP, pours a purplish ruby with no signs of age. Expressive nose radiating from the glass, plenty of cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, a little dust and cracked pepper. Interesting interplay of fresh and mature fruit - some lively cherry on the attack, which morphs on the back end to a plummy madierized core. Very smooth and longish finish. Day two this has fleshed out and entered the dark zone - gaining weight. More oak and toast and black fruits on the nose, while body has picked up weight and flavors more ripe.

Dark ruby, with spicy black cherry and full body. Nice length and slight tart on day two +. Better than last bottle from memory.

Little bouquet. Light tannin with a mild spice.
