March 26, 2013 - Appearance: Clear, dark purple, no oxidation around the rim
Nose: Medium + to Intense nose. Black fruit jumped out mixed with berry and violet notes. Possibly a hint of oak from used barrels.
Palate: Medium + body with a smooth mouthfeel, balanced with good 'grippiness' from young tannins and acid. Upon opening the fruit just sang - black currant, blueberry and black cherry with a real freshness. Notes of violet and red licorice on the back of the palate. Delightful in its youth, I'm certain that this will continue to develop complexity over 2-3 years.
**Day 2: Unfortunately, even with vacuum pumping the fruit had largely mellowed on the second day. A more understated wine given how exciting the fruit was on Day 1.
