This is still much younger than the previous notes led me to believe. Very primary. Stinky nose, light red fruits. Taste had light red fruits, strong tannins, very, very tart acidity. Try again in 3-5 years.

Pale ruby. Looks a bit older than 5. Lovely perfumed aromas, with smoke, vanilla bean, cherry pit and blood orange. Silky, earthy and funky. Tart red berries, shitake mushroom, and some jalapeno kick. Quite decent finish. Very solid at under $20.

Incredibly bright with high acid to start. Mellows and rounds out with an hour of decanting. The wood is fairly prominent with sandalwood notes. Black licorice combines with tobacco, and ripe strawberry.

Slight weedy nose at first but blew off; light smoke, dusty tarragon, raspberry, tart cherry, high acid with a dry tangy finish. Kind of grew on me like sad puppy. 87-88

Tight at open, needed a couple hours to start shining and didn't open until paired with food.
