  Man is this good. Took a while to open up, but drinking on day two I can smell the nose of cherries, baking spices and olive about a foot away from the glass. Drinking beautifully. Gentle tannins, just the right acidity, and a long olive washed finish.

  Color: dark ruby with violet reflexes
  Nose: smashed olives and charred myrtle wood. Dark cherry. Caramel presumably from the barrel. Bruised herbs like rosemary and sage
  Palate: medium-high acidity, medium-high tannins still grippy. Full body. Confirms the nose with some added very clear pomegranate molasses.
  Finish: medium
  
  Started with a whiff of cardboard, which thankfully after 2 hours of air blew off. I think this is still young ultimately, the tannins are burly. It has charm though, and a degree of power. Let's see how long I manage to hold on to my third bottle, especially since the previous one also had cardboard smells at the onset. Recommend 3 hours of air, room temp.

  A nice showing, but no stunner. Blackberry crumble cooked over an open fire. Acid is a bit strong still.

  Terrific nose of violets, nice tannic backbone, quite structured, dark berries and nice weight on the palate
