Took a long time in the decanter to open up. Brambly red and black fruit on the nose. Similar notes on the palate with underlying black tea notes and tea-like tannins. Slightly bitter medium length finish. Medium acid and tannin. Overall a bit awkward.

Ripe nose; plenty of tannins. Could almost be a Rioja but very big.

Rounder and fuller than the Brusset. Smooth, bit of spice on nose, but not on palate.

Dressner Day 1 (NYC): Very giving, with a sweet nose. Soft on the palate. Raspberry liquor. Tasty and easy going, but has some guts. Tasty stuff. 89+
