Not rating this because it was utterly and completely shut down. Nothing on the nose, nothing on the palate. Didn't detect any TCA so I really think this is just shut down tight.
Barnyard funk on the nose. Cherry on the palate, fruit is on the dark side, some clove and light tannins. This is almost open for business but I think it could improve over the next couple of years.
Nose is a bit tight, some cranberry peeking through though. Tart cherry on the palate, adequate acidity, light tannins. Not a lot of weight, but nice fruit and some clove. Drinking nicely now but seems likely to improve over the next couple of years.

No rating because this was shut down tight. Some bloody rocks on the nose, but no fruit. Not much fruit on the palate, this really needs some time.
