  C: Med+ Purple
  
  A: BlackCurrant, dash of Black Olive, Blackberry, all fruit all the time
  
  T: Med Body, Med Acid, Med+ Tannin
  plums, prunes, blackberry, dash of Black Olive
  
  Conclusion: Good Solid fruit together nicely right now wish I saved those bottle I drank earlier that were a little off balance, just nice solid fruit reminds me of some California Wines.

  C: Ruby still a hint of Purple [Guess from the Syrah in it still]
  Day 1
  A: Good Quality Blackberry, lovely nose, Fish Sc?[was cooking with it so...]Cherry Acetone/Licourice, even a touch Nibb Candy [grenache?]
  T: Good fruit Earth tones [red fruit mainly] Tannins check, acid check really lovely structure, little creamy and dsah of Vanilla
  
  Day 2:
  A: Earth, Coffee. big and warm, Dark Licourice, Dark Chocolate
  T: Red fruit [strawberry/cranberry] good tannin/acid
  
  Think this is showing way better now then 3 years ago, I don't know how it will do with anymore age. I think it was showing better on day 1 but day 2 isn't a total let down

  I just can't like this - thin, tart, characterless.
