Opened for 2.5 hours. Color is garnet. On the nose: Cinnamon, red and black berries, and some alcohol heat. On the palate: Red and blackberries, some cherry, a bit of plum and cinnamon. Some alcohol heat is coming through. OK.

Some good fruit here. However the alcohol is not well integrated and feels like drinking a cocktail and not wine. Way too much heat. 84 points
On day 2 I like this much better. The alcohol is much better integrated. Some rich red berry fruits. Dark tannins that provide needed balance. Very nice finish. This still needs time.
