Dark ruby with very little translucence. Nose of black cherries but much mushrooms, wet tree leaves, and rubber. Cherries and mature strawberries in the attack. The attack is jarring. There is an unpleasant, distracting volatile acidity. It hasn't really dissipated. I chalk it up to bottle variation as previous bottles were fine. The strong earthy flavors come in to save the tasting.

Really fantastic value with anise and vanilla notes. A bit of cherry, but not dark, more unripe. Thicker and a tiny bit of tannin.

At Capital One Lounge in DFW Airport. Pretty red berries, fine tannins, straightforward easy drinker.
