Bouquet of lots of bright black fruit gets your attention quickly, plums, ripe strawberries, black currant. Smooth tannins give it well rounded structure with a mineral backbone. Cedar, chocolate, espresso, anise. Easy oak.

Earthy, smoke, cedar, plum, a bit of cherry and blackberry. Smooth with enough structure to keep it interesting. I was not expecting much based on other notes but my experience was a pleasant surprise. Definitely needs to breathe.

Nice balance of oak and fruit. Settles into a buttery apple pie
