Complexity improved with lengthy decanting of half a 750 on Day 1. This note is based on the remaining half bottle poured in a 375 and tasted next day. Really improved in complexity. Light raspberry juice color. Flowery and herbal aroma. Moderately concentrated red cherry/red plum taste with good acidity that carries across the palate. Mid-palate, some caramelized sugars emerge followed by an herbal spicy finish (suggesting some stems) with just a good amount of dusty tannins and a graphite minerality. Definitely more than meets the eye and quite delicious.

Upon opening, a nose of campfire, spicy raspberries and a touch of green pepper. The palate is a two dimensional core of raspberry/cherry fruits and cola rising along an earthy and smokey axis. The supporting backbone of tight acidity and fresh fruits create a good balance.

Beautiful on the palate with rich but grounded blue fruit. A real crowd-pleaser.
