Tasted after a 3 1/2 hour decant. With a plan to drink over 4 days.
Medium ruby in colour with a garnet hue.
Lovely aromas of sweet tobacco, floral & black fruit.
On the palate, medium bodied black fruit, black cherry kirsch/blackberry, leather, slightly floral, a noticeable petrol/tar undertone, high acidity, high slightly angular tannins with a long finish to pepper, tobacco/chocolate.
This is fantastic wine with infinite aging/improvement potential!

Tasted after a 45 minute decant.
Medium ruby in colour with a distinct garnet hue and somewhat restrained aromas of earthy minerality.
On the palate, medium bodied red fruit, dried strawberry, dried red cherry, slightly herbal, a dusty minerality, medium acidity, medium soft tannins & a long finish to black pepper.
The acidity balances the tannins, seems a little lacking in fruit, but a definite expression of minerality & terroir.
Not sure if this needed to be consumed younger, or if it needs more cellar time?

Still lovely deep, rich flavour on night #3.

Tasted after a two hour decant.
Dark, opaque ruby in colour with aromas of pleasant herbal/vegetal, slightly earthy/oaky sweet black fruit & a hint of cured meat.
On the palate, full bodied black fruit, tart blackberry/boysenberry/blueberry, cassis, slightly herbal & earthy, smoked meat, with well integrated oak and medium acidity & high soft tannins. The finish is long to pepper & a crushed gravel sort of minerality.
This is lovely, balanced, complex wine that has displayed definite progress since my prior tasting.
The heel of the bottle still tastes great on night #2.

Pale lemon in colour with somewhat restrained aromas of floral/blossoms & wet gravel. On the palate, bold flavours of citrus/lime/lemon, unripe stone fruit, blossoms, chalky minerality with medium lively acidity that transitions into a long spicy finish ending in a slightly oily mouthfeel.
This is complex & interesting wine at a very reasonable price point.

Medium to dark ruby in colour with restrained aromas of black fruit & subtle oak/earth.
On the palate, medium bodied black fruit, tart black cherry, blackberry, background oak/cedar, high acidity, low-medium soft tannins & a medium to long finish ending in spice/pepper.
Nice bright cherry wine, but the 15.5% ABV is noticeable.

I agree with 12/30/2020 - CDT LIKES THIS WINE: description except I think it's a little young and will improve and add complexity with a little more age so I'm going to hold mine a while.
