Fairly dark magenta-purple. Dark fruit nose - blackberry, currant - plus pepper and leather. Medium bodied, intense cherries, blueberries, oak, grainy tannins, and a medium finish. Over-oaked, but a decent wine underneath.

Dark garnet red. Strawberries, spices, and leather on the nose. Lots of fruit on the palate - raspberries and cherries, oaky but not overwhelming, not much heat, a little sour at the end. Medium finish. Fairly well put together and a pleasant drinking experience.

Consistent with prior notes. Fruit seems to be fading and the spices increasing. Still oaky. Improved with air.
