1 ounce pour at a public tasting, advance aeration time not known
deepish pure red, cassis and cedar on the nose, a bit dusty as well from the drying oak, on the palate a buttery fruit with some dark berry and clove notes leading into a smooth but light finish where the heavy hand with the oak shows itself more prominently, a nice mid-weight in many respects with admirable purity of fruit- but too much wood for my personal tastes.
***+, ready to go but should develop some with age.

Deep plum fruit blended with earth, medium tannins and a bit of tar. Soft velvety mouth feel and a long spicy finish.

Spicy plummy fruit, with a savory finish. Thins a bit mid palate
