  Medium bright & clear ruby red in color with minor clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of blueberries, cherries & plums with overtones of floral notes of roses, earthy/dusty, forest floor, truffles, cocoa, spices, mint & hints of cedar & basalmic notes in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, rich, ripe red fruit flavors of cherries, cranberries & currants with dried herbs, minerals, spices & a hint of oak. Long lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but has the structure and fruit to continue with its development with further aging.

  Cherry, resin, violet, menthol. Full bodied and explosive on the palate. Bracing acidity, with plenty of ripe tannins that coat the tongue. Pretty dialed up at the moment. Not a waste to open -- just super intense. I might give this a couple of years and drink over the next 10. (92-94 pts).

  Medium ruby. Medium weight with mostly dark cherry fruit and some herbs. Pretty straightforward at this point.
