  Better than my prior bottle. Nose of cherry liqueur, palate of cherry pit, cranberry, good acidity, hint of tar, slightly hot.

  Consumed over two nights-- a tough wine to love.
  
  First night, first two hours-- reticent in both nose and palate, predominant flavor was talc. Later, it showed cherry pit on nose, cherry liqueur on palate, cranberry, and interesting mouthfeel that was both light and yet dense. This phase was as good as it got.
  
  Day two, seemed less focused, cherry liqueur still present, but not much else.
  
  Not sure to drink my other bottles now, or cellar longer.
