Day 1: VG but seems like an infanticide, like most of what it wants to express is still wrapped up tightly in youth; am interested to see where the second half of the bottle goes.

This is the best vintage I have tasted. Nice musky nose. Full bodied, generally well balanced with nice fruit and chalk but with strong tannins - needs at least a few more years of age!

Dark purple in color with some clarity at the edge. Dry bramble attack of black red fruit. Sharp jagged notes; light in body with a short finish with some heat. Fair to Good. Needs food (we have a pizza being delivered in 6 minutes).
Opened not decanted. Purple red in color; soft plush red berry fruit; medium weight in body; ends with a semi dry finish. After about an hour it starts to tighten up with more astringency. Good +.

Purple fading to garnet. Somewhat muted aromas, blackberry and blueberry. Shines bright on the palate! Sweet blackberry, plum, vanilla, and baking spice, backed by grippy tannins. Plentiful fruit and structure. Medium bodied overall. Very nice! 14.5 abv

Light nose with some leather notes. Gorgeous purple/red color. Great balance of tannins and acid. The palate packs a wallop of succulent blackberry. Flavors are deep and complex. Finish is as good as the start. IT will be interesting to see how this develops over the next few years.

This is solid. Very fruity. Acid high. Really good. Glad I have many more bottles.
