  This particular bottle was excellent with an inviting expansive nose of leather, blue violets and licorice and some incredible funk.
  Blue and black fruits like plums and blueberries. Not lots of acidity, silky mouthfeel, and supple slightly drying finish. This is good… classsic juice.

  Transparent garnet body with brown rim. Nose is medium to light, has red cherries, leather, mushroom, earthy funk. Palate is old world all the way, nice balance of dry notes from the american oak and mineral along with fully ripe red and blue fruits, fine but grippy tannins. Similar to the nose the palate is also mild. Solid value here and can drink on its own, or mild cheeses. This cannot hang with spicier chorizo, etc.

  Dark fruit, tart cherry with good structure. Still an infant with years to go.
