  Pretty tight upon opening, will see if it changes over the next couple hours. Nose has red and black berry with some dark chocolate, smoke, and earth notes. Taste is similar to nose, but the earthiness takes over, I am hoping that will dissipate as it opens up. TBC.

  Dark garnet in the glass. Nice floral aromas. Dark fruit flavors of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and some kirsch. Great acidity with good structure. Smooth, integrated and round tannins. Long dark chocolate finish. Terrific.

  Interesting flavor profile - not sure how to describe it as it’s not standard fare. Nose is overwhelmingly rose hips. Smooth and mouthfilling. Very good fruit on the nose and a strong fruit flavor up front. I taste some black currant, blackberry, black cherries, and dark chocolate with licorice on the edges. Really interesting. The finish is quite long and decadent. Some alcohol burn too and some oak. I think this is really unusual in a great way.

  Delicious, but too young. Thick tannins, long finish. Needs more time.
