Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined and refrigerated), note from day 2. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby. Nose: Clean, medium intensity, developing aromas of dark fruit - cassis, blackberry and blueberry, black currant leaf and black olives. Palate: Dry, medium acidity and tannin, medium alcohol, medium+ bodied, medium intensity with flavors of slightly under-ripe dark fruit, black pepper, and black olives with medium+ length. Still developing, but can drink now, good for 5+ years yet.

Quite reticent on day 1, but opened up by the second evening. Somewhat restrained nose with hints of beef blood, cherries, green pepper and leaf litter. Medium-full bodied, smokey, nice acid spine, a bit stemmy (particularly on the nose), smooth tannins. Drinking well now, but needs some air.

Opaque purple color. Tasted over two days. Tighter and fresher on the first day. Blackberry scent with a bit of floral lift. A wiff of barrel funk, vanilla and loamy scents round out the nose. Smooth and seamless on the palate. Blackberries, a streak of acidity and some woody or stemy flavors on the palate. Finishes smooth and medium with a bit of heat clipping the finish. Seems to be at peak, I don’t see this getting any better as the fruit fades with time. Drink up.
