This is in a very nice place. No discernible bricking and deep purple. Medium fruit with green notes. Palate is medium balanced fruit with medium tannins and balanced acid

PNP. Glad I waited on this. Medium red color. Bell pepper (unripe fruit / bad vintage?), sweet cherry and tobacco on nose - better than prior bottles. On palate, medium body, low tannins, medium acidity and medium+ finish (slightly clipped). Black cherry, earthy on palate. 90+/- today. Would not be a re-buy but everyone enjoyed this bottle.

Initial pour was of berry compote, green pepper and wood. Similar flavors on palate, but slightly astringent. Drank over about a 2 hour period, slight improvement towards the end.
