Very pale yellow. Apple and light honeysuckle aromas. On the palate it is more complex, with quince, quinine, apple, salt, and light honey aromas, but all the aromas are subtle. Medium plus body and acidity, medium intensity of finish. Bone dry.

Clear, depending ruby turning purple at center. Intense raspberry, blackberry, plum, and coffee aromas. Some oak spice is present. There is a smoky/mineral thing going on. Full body, medium plus tannins and acidity. All elements are well balanced.

This is a young wine. That being said: deep ruby to purple, almost opaque at the center. Blackberry and blueberry aromas, and some new American oak. Tannins are very present but also extraordinarily smooth. Very fleshy. Medium acidity. Fruit is a little muted compared to tannins at this point. Potentially very good.
