  Method: 30 min decant; Cab glass; 60ish degrees
  
  Look: deep- ruby
  
  Nose:cherry, pomegranate, ripe cranberry baking spices, light brown sugar, vanilla, alder wood note; very expressive
  
  Palate: cherry, ripe cranberry, plum, prune, baking spice, vanilla; long- finish prune, slightly bitter herbs; dry; full body; medium- round tannins with slightly drying finish; medium- acidity; can taste the alcohol slightly, but not really feel the heat
  
  Overall thoughts: The fruit profile is unexpectedly a bit all over the place for me (with ripe cranberry to prune note), but it's tasty, if simple. The wine is very expressive and concentrated with a wonderful full body and welcoming round mouthfeel. It's not complex or very serious, but it's a great hedonistic wine. I'm not sure I would purposefully continue to hold this with the expectation that it improves, but it's drinking nicely now.

  Nose: vegetal, pomegranate, cranberry, baking spices, brown sugar, blueberry pie, cedar, sandalwood; super expressive
  
  Palate: cedar, baking spices, cranberry, rock dust; full body; high acid, tart; a little heat;
  
  Overall: it’s a bit tart and stringent and I get a little heat on it, just a little off balance for me at the moment

  Tasted non blind.
  
  Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of roasted meat, black pepper, plums and black cherries. Rich flavors of currants, plums, black cherries and black berries. Medium acidity, firm tannin, full bodied. Drink with air or hold.
