C: The usual color, maybe a bit darker than some S: carmel green apple, hint of red cherry, plum, hint of leather maybe S2: leather, red apple, carmel, smell gets better as it warms - rich and flavorful, i suspect T: brighter, less rich than expected, a little chalky, "smooth", red apple, black pepper note, carmel, plum, a little grippy (astringent). Complex! Lots going on. Interesting. R: I like it (1), Buy again (1)

Decanted briefly C: The usual dark ruby. Maybe not totally clear because of decanting S: Chalk, raspberry, red cherry, earth, carmel S1: Maybe a hint of citrus, more carmel T: Bright acidity, clean at first, a little tannic in the middle but not astringent. Tangy up front. Red cherry, raspberry, chalky smooth texture, maybe earth on the finish. R: Liked it (plus, or buy again minus) (2)
