Opened 2 hours before drinking. Bing cherry color, lighter to the rim. Aroma of red fruit and alcohol (not encouraging). Light body VERY fruity (not sweet), cherries, raspberries dominate. Very faint tannins, not over alcoholey (not really a word, I know) like the aroma. Easy drinking, nice "quaff". Fruit is carrying it. Drink by 2025.

Deep garnet color. Opened an hour before drinking and barley started to open up. Red berry, vanilla & leather aromas. Black plum, cherry, leathery flavors. Hint of sweet maybe from the bit of Syrah in the blend. Acidity and tannins didn't really blend until a couple days letter when I tried it again.

Deep cherry color with a faint pink rim. Cherry, leather, oak vanilla aromas. Cherry, red berries, oak flavours. Fruit heavy, medium body, soft tannins, medium finish. Very drinkable.
