First bottle was obviously off, just reductive flawed notes. Opened my other to confirm and second bottle was great, cherry and a hint of cola on the nose. Bright fruit, cherry some all slice on the palate, great finish. Drinking very well now not sure there's too much upside to holding.

PnP, consumed over 2 hours. Appearance: Clear, pale garnet with browning edges. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developed aromas of dried cherry, raspberry, pine needles, shoe leather, and earth. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium- tannin, medium body, 13.5% abv, medium intensity with developed flavors of dried cherry, spice, and leather with a medium+ finish. Overall an excellent - superb wine excelling in balance and length with very good intensity and complexity. Feels ready to go today but still has the acidic backbone to drink well for another 2-3 years.

Largely consistent with previous bottles, although this one had a bit of volatile acidity which never quite blew away over the course of the evening.
