Upon first opening, the nose is wonderful with kirsch, cassis, coffee, patina. The flavors were a bit disjointed with the low alcohol (13.6%) quite prominent. Within an hour of open, things all got organized and this was exceedingly enjoyable. Drink now with a short decant.

Garnet colored some bricking and clearing at rim. nose blackberry, black currant (cassis), coffee and plum not a huge nose. black currant (cassis) & plums dominate with some cedar notes, tannins are resolved. finish is not exceptional in terms of length. Too simple to be given a higher score.
