Fruity nose and showed potential at the beginning but the bitter tannins at the end just won't go away even after letting it sit for hours. The bitterness really overwhelmed this vintage.

Dark red color. Fruity nose, with oak and smoke after it has time to open up. Boysenberry and cassias flavors with higher-than-normal acidity. I think the wine would have improved by holding longer.

Some complexity, but the finish is rather unpleasant.

Probably opened too early...or there's not much here to write home about.
