  Faint cherry strawberry colour. Lots of legs.
  Nose of pleasantly sour cherries, some mushroom, stems.
  Good bright sweet fruit on this one, with lashings of blue fruit and a truffley/herb finish. Quite some heat and lots of alcohol. This gives it sweetness but also a lack of balance. This is obvious acid and still holding medium tannins giving perhaps a perception of stemminess.
  Hope some air will bring things together.
  Note after about an hour of airing : some fruit has appeared. Still Nothing much on the nose though pleasant. Quite closed but some tongue-coating bright fruit appearing. Hold.
