This was a nice drinking wine, but opened too young (I seem to have developed a pattern on doing that). On the nose, tart berry and rose? After a 1 hour decant, still a little tight but opened up with boysenberry, red fruit, and....Hawaiian punch? Fine tannin and nice acidity. This will continue to evolve.

This wine is a deep purple with a pronounced intensity of aromas including blackberries, cassis, leather, butter, prune, vanilla, and game. The is developing. The wine is dry, with medium(+) acid, high tannin, high alcohol, full body, a pronounced intensity of flavors that are mostly consistent with the nose, and a long finish. This wine is very good and can be drunk now, but has the potential for ageing.

Sandalwood, cassis and camphor on the nose. Notes of blackberries and violets. Fine tannins, well integrated and balanced.
