N: Closed, grapey; Brooding? With addt'l air/swirling, some tough to parse aspects, though with herbal on top
P: Med, poss MF, body; Cherry flavored frt with nice acidity; LONG, balanced finish with NO particular tannins. Intense, POWERFUL (yet sans clumsiness), & with a burgeoning elegance. QUITE a lovely wine that I *should* have decanted as it improved TREMENDOUSLY with air.

Pencil lead over blue and black fruit on the nose. Smooth tannins and a subtle earthiness on this wine. Moves from blueberry to toasty black plum and cigar skin and blueberry again. Nice and earthy.

Deep ruby color. Red fruit nose. Tastes of cherry and raspberry. Chewy tannins. Some heat on the finish.
