Earthy profile. Much better than previous bottle. Original Bandaid like background flavor evolving towards forest floor and cola. Might yet improve still with time.

Purple and magenta colors with an enticing aroma of vivid balck cherry, black currant and plum with rose petals and violets in the background. Solid and tense on the palate with dark fruit, earth and nice acidity. Some bramble and briar with hints of minerality. Satin feel on the palate.

Purple and magenta in color. Bouquet of vivid black cherry, black currant and plum. Palate includes intense black fruit flavors balanced by vivid acidity. Also some bramble, briar and underlying minerality as well. Satin like texture and enduring finish.

nice, understated nose with Rhubarb, raspberry, strawberry, graphite, orange zest and spice but with a tiny note of green wood. Good follow through on the palate, a bit of disjointed toasty, baby bottom'd oak/fruit competition but with a good, even, long finish. Could use a bit more acid punch on the entry/midpalate. All in all flavors and nose rocked but needs to spend a little time in Europe with a Eurorail pass for structure to develop and find itself.
