Crimson color. Very nice , medium to full bodied. Medium acidity, medium tannins. Black cherry flavors, some plum, spices, a bit chewy/grainy mouthfeel but not thick. Medium length to finish.

NY/NJ Offline at Beacon 7.23.12 (Beacon, NYC): Quick taste. Really nice nose with notes of black cherry and blueberry. Medium-full bodied, medium high tannin and high acidity with a medium long finish.

Nose is full of concentrated plums and blackberries. There are still moderate tannins that bestow balanced structure and pleasant mouthfeel. I'd buy this again.

The nose has plum, caramel, some black pepper. Blueberry, boysenberry followed by vanilla with blackberry. Leather finish with some cedar, a little black pepper and black fruit. The fruit seemed more bright as it opened up in the decanter. This should be able to age and may improve quite a bit in a couple of years. The oak is a little more dominant than I would like right now but you can taste the quality of the fruit.

Prunes et mures confites, un brin trop capiteux
et trop tannique.
Chauffe en finale en prime.

just hitting its stride now. Nice and smooth. Fruit still stands out, fresh and full. Nice backbone. A ways to go in ageing if you want.
