  PNP, decanted and immediately tasted blind.
  
  Super dark cherry color and slightly cloudy on day 1, cleared up on day 2. 4
  
  Nose of cranberry, orange zest, fresh tilled field and a touch of smoke and bicycle inner tube. The rubber blew off by day 2. 11
  
  The palate was where this wine shines. Dry evolving soft cherry, juicy acidity, light tannins, concentrated, cola, vanilla... evolving into slight marjoram, lemon zest and super earthy. Medium bodied and super complex. 18
  
  This is a really good glass of wine and may just need a bit more care decanting to protect the clarity. 9
