  Much the same as before now after resting/no chance of bottle shock. Adding an additional pleasant aroma of cranberry, walnut, and brie funk. Tasty!

  A sparkling dark crimson rose hue with clarity and translucence that fades to a subtle pink at the edge. Aromas of cranberry, raspberry, orange peel, and apple skin are at the forefront with some baking spices that give way to the slightest hints of fresh earth. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, high acid with explosive flavors that pleasantly attack the cheeks and tongue sides. Tons of red and dark fruit on the palate with a balanced tartness that give way to a little welcomed funk and some very young, slightly drying tannins. Long finish with some vanilla present, hearty with a minor amount of alcohol detected but overpowered by strong fruit. This is a baby but with excellent and mature fruit and tannins. I am very interested in how this is in 10 years and perhaps 15.
