  Clean, red fruit, lightly floral. A deep deep swirl brings out some nice savory elements. Nice energy on the palate, high acid, fruit is tight and tart showing more skin character than flesh.
  
  89 on PnP but needs air so will leave the bottle open and re-visit later.....Update is that it did open more as the evening went on, but still, not showing its best in my opinion.

  Cranberry, high acid, short finish, somewhat disjointed. Should have listened to below notes that this needs more time to come together.

  PnP and enjoyed over two nights.
  
  Color is light ruby. Very bright nose with pure red fruit, sweet spice, florals, baked bread; needed 20-30 minutes after PnP for nose to show anything. Nice presence on the entry. Medium in body. Medley of just ripe red and blue fruit; red cherry, tart blueberry. Dried herbs on the finish. This wine is showing off some real structure, but still enjoyable now.
  
  Update on night 2: absolutely delicious with lots of stuffing. I get more of a black fruit on the nose relative to last night. Still lots of structure. Certainly needs time but I wasn't mad about drinking this right now given I have more in the cellar.

  Definitely on the more closed side. Muted nose. A quality wine lurks but it needs very much air/time in bottle. Cherry. Acidic. Definite structure/grip. I would definitely wait on your bottles. Going to stash most of mine away and not touch for 2-3 years before checking in again.

  Lightly colored. Quite structured and acidic, a bit angular. Fruit leaning toward cherry and pomegranate. Tight and seemingly closed, didn’t budge much on night 2. Best to hold this one and give a few years in bottle. However quality seems apparent just hard to just at this point.
