  Smells like black cherry and sharpie. Tastes like tart black cherry pie and is a little leathery. Probably drink early

  Appearance - clear, ruby, medium plus.
  
  Nose - clean, medium plus intensity, youthful, a bit too primary but it is easy to be drinking this wine. Red and black berries, ripe, red licorice
  
  Palate - lovely, vibrant, easy to drink, looks like it will develop nicely as it ages. Juicy, red and black berries and other ripe fruit. Red plums. Tannins are on the milder side but start to emerge after you swallow. Tingling on gums and palate. It feels balanced now just young. Finish is medium plus. Acidity is medium. Seems like this will be a wonderful wine as it develops. Alcohol listed as 12.5 so does it have the legs to age? Or maybe I’m biased on this? Not a Bordeaux expert here.
