Cherry and red fruit notes give way to florals then earth, forest floor, cinnamon and spice and back to florals. Fresh and lively at first, with nice acid and flavors of red fruit, earth and cherry, turning slightly sour as it declined. Drink now. 92-93 pts.

My first tatse, poured just a couple of minutes after the bottle was opened, was uninspiring to say the least. It displayed a dominant ash overtone, with weedy red fruit underneath. About thirty minutes later, Domino poured a glass- meat, red fruit, pepper, spice and dark fruit aromas. Red fruit, roasted game and pepper flavors on the palate. Long finish with plenty of fruit. Give this a brief decant or some time in the glass to open. Drinking extremely well with a bit of air.
