  Sight-no gas, no sediment, dark ruby, medium concentration, slight rim variation, light tearing
  Nose - medium intensity, sweetness, some vanilla, ripe red fruit, maybe a little dark fruit as well (currant), evidence of new french oak, some spice box like tar and tobacco, little cotton candy-ish, some tangy dirt/clay element
  Palate - off dry, medium finish, high tannins, medium alcohol, low acid, low complexity, hard to pick up the fruit through the alcohol, sour notes
  Overall - pretty average, 80 points

  Very cherry both on the nose and initial bite. Medium sweet and smooth throughout. Excellent garnet color and clear. Good legs and opened well. Very satisfying.

  Nice ripe cheery color and strong cherry nose. Slight initial bite but smooths out on the finish. Slightly on the sweet side and pleasant on its own or paired with a meal.

  Decanted, unintentionally, for two days. Really opened up, earthy, full-bodied, quite exceptional.
