light pommegranite and cranberry with a minerality like iron (although pleasent). Liike and pleasing with a fennel type note that drifted in and out from attack to finish. short to med finish.

Crazy funk on the bottle when opened. strict and tight. not pleasant
left it open on the dining room table over night... and it was clean and had significant fruit the next day. tasted the remaining glass on day 3 and it was still holidng together nicely with a cherry/strawberry fruit with some mineral high tones and a medium short finish. needs a major decant or better yet, just don't open it for a while..

was not decanted. this was a little strict in it's flavor. very pleasent, but not developed. the nose was nicely purfumed, and there was great acidity, it has hidden much of its fleshy fruit at this point. Still has that nice cherry and a little earth, but it isn't shining yet. I do think (hope) that it will improve.
