Deep crystalline ruby color. Expressive nose of sweet cherry lifts from glass upon opening. Palate is smooth, vibrant cherry, almost candied, young Burgundy-like mocha, hint of licorice, smooth acidity. Some drying tannins after 30 minutes. Seems at peak.

Much better bottle than 3 months ago. Crystalline ruby color. Bright red fruits on nose and palate. Smooth acidity, no tannins, very balanced. Light to medium bodied. Perfect with antipasto or pasta with a fresh tomato sauce.

Deep ruby with pink rim. Less fruit and acid than prior bottles. A bit of drying tannins for complexity as soon as poured. Well balanced. Can last but probably won't in my cellar.

Medium deep ruby with pink glints. More acid than tannin. Slippery legs on glass and mouth. Not much better than young CdR. Seems shut down. Update: decanted overnight. Much better. Smooth, balanced light bodied red, refreshing acidity, sour cherry, drying tannins. Can last I think 4-5 years more, easily.

Coravin bottle from 2 months ago. I think it gets a little air and improves short term.
