Cherry notes on first sip color slightly brown when pouring, dark red in the glass, excellent drinking wine. Aging did it well The wine looks caramel colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry. It tastes like cherry and black currant (cassis). The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Upon opening, wine was rather closed off and felt somewhat acidic with some alcohol heat. Letting it breathe for a couple hours helped, and felt a little plusher the next day. Color is a bit tawny/prune colored. Medium to lighter body, off-dry, not a lot of distinctive fruit flavor, perhaps a dry raspberry. High tannins, with an edge of burnt caramel. Enjoyable drinking, just lacking any up front character.
