Darker core with violet rim; oak, creamy, plusher dark cherry, juicy, some stem; more density for Pinot, some grip and alcohol, some Cola, sweet and drinkable though needs some time, touch of heat on finish, good density, elegant and primary; nobody on Cabernet with this, too soft and silky.

Dark maroon core with lighter rim; watermelon, herbs, sour cherry, plum skin, juicy, powdery mineral; juicy, nice richness with tart fruit, kind of strict, has texture but the sourness of the red fruit took me to Cote de Beaune.

Dark chocolate core with dull garnet crimson rim; aged, oak, plump, ripe, raisin, soy, chocolate, sandalwood; tannin, blueberry, blackberry, big, modern.

Super light crimson, pale rim; a bit reduced, strawberries, mineral, earth, herbs complicate nose, slight sweet edge; piercing on the palate, sexy, cranberry, strawberry, high acid, fresh, super crunchy red fruit; most in Burgundy, also heard Jura and Sicily.

Dark core, dull maroon rim; creamy oak, blueberry, some age, tar, nutty; motor oil, heavy, blue and uber ripe fruit, high alcohol, nutty, grainy tannin; Amarone-esque weight and richness- notice I said the same thing previously so at least they're consistent.

Dark cloudy core with dull maroon rim; leather, wet earth, tobacco, green pepper, currants, licorice, good year, balanced, weighty, serious, currants, boxwood; delicious, easily my WOTN, want to savor this.
