Deep, dark red. Tight nose - dark cherry and a bit of asphalt. Round mouthfeel - dark fruits, sarsaparilla fed a touch of sweet musk. Opened up over 30 minutes. Good acid bite with a medium length finish. Feels in the last burst of youth moving into adolescent. Enjoyable but plenty of time left in this.

Nose of dried cherry and licorice. On the palate more cherry and more licorice. Maybe some leather but not much else. Pronounced alcohol and rather one dimensional at this stage. Not sure where this goes.

Deep ruby to the rim, a clean but muted nose. The palate has quite a lot grip with drying tannins and insufficient fruit to support it. Dired cherry fruit with a bit of warmth on the mid palate and towards the finish. Still primary and little boring.

Ruby with an inviting nose of red fruits, leather, cigar box, tobacco. The palate has sour red cherry and raspberry juice, grape pips. It is a little austere and dried out which is disappointing given what the nose offered up.
