This is finally starting to show some beautiful cherry fruit. Though it is still very dry and has many years of cellar potential, the tannins are more balanced and so much softer than the half-bottle from well over a year ago.

Great/ bright fruit and acidity. The fruit was a bit hidden by a very dry front-palate, but had a decent finish on the back. Looking forward to the next bottle in another couple of years after the tannins have softened some.

Very refreshing! Lots of pear, somewhat citrusy. The acidity was bright and a little spicy. Got some white pepper as well. The finish was a bit short, but up-front flavors were excellent!
