  More soft and generous on the nose. Open and expressive as it were. Palate is more tight than that. So I would hold.

  Deep ruby color. A warm aromatic compote of raspberries, cherries and cranberry relish, along with notes of warm clay, violets, some wild herbs and creosote tones – really nice. Full-bodied, solid structure but rounded tannic edges, deep but balanced with vibrant acidity. Suave plum, strawberry and cherry fruit play well off these notes of sage, paprika, pepper – a ton going on here. Broth, mushroom tones need time to come out. This needs time, but it is so, so good. Aged nine months in 83% new French oak.

  The ripe nose wafts cherry, spiced cranberry sauce, rose petal, clove, and scorched earth. Full bodied, it has broad, slightly gritty tannin with an solid core of acid that does its job without distracting. The flavor profile includes juicy cherry, blackberry, clove, black pepper, and graphite minerality. This one has lots of promise and is built to age, which is a good thing since it will need another five-plus years to unwind and find itself.
