This was drinking beautifully tonight with lots of rich, penetrating, dark red fruit, Asian spice notes, earthy sous bois and enough acidity to keep it well balanced. There's still a fair amount of structure on the midlength finish which leads me to believe that this has a long life ahead of it.

This is beautiful tonight with penetrating dark red fruit, lots of earth and sous bois, Asian spice and some leathery, tobacco notes on the long finish with admirable depth and concentration. Double decanted for about 2 hours. Excellent!!

Dec Kick-off @ Crab@Bay!: Cherries, spices, slight cola notes which got me thinking this may be a Cote Rotie. Not bad!

Lots of sour cherry. Earthy, strict, lots of acidity but also lots of extraction to support it. Finishes a bit dry.
