My notes agree with CP - brickish color, wonderful floral bouquet, acidic palate and red fruits. Did better by itself than I when paired with food. Drink up.

Open for about an hour, not decanted. Color is now more reddish-brown, mostly clear, still big body. Bouquet is amazing, lots of raspberry, just a hint of bacon, some rosy notes. Palate has gone just a bit too acidic, but i otherwise so smooth, a bit and vegetal but pretty well balanced. Finish is decent and intense. Went nicely with a grilled grouper with tarragon and mushroom gravy. Drink them up if you still have them.

Drink up, has aged well. Cherry and raspberry, rose petal on the nose. Red fruit on palate. Medium finish. Drank on it's own without food.
