Dark purple, dark berry fruit on the nose with a sappy edge. On the palate, youthful mid-range cabernet flavors that are just a little too kirschy--modern, hot and sweet. Not a fan.

Interesting aroma - cherry, berry, caramel, hint of cedar. The taste changed a lot for me over time - originally it was quite hot and a bit thin and acidic. Tannin level seemed fairly light for a cab. Drinkable, but needed some hearty food (or chocolate) to smooth it out some. It took half the glass before the taste mellowed out (even with 90 minute decant first), and then the tannins were noticeable (nice) and it was a much smoother wine. Second night it was smooth from the start, and nice tannin level, more cab-like. This went from being pretty mediocre to being a fairly nice wine.

Big cherry flavors up front. No tannin. Drinkable now.

Taste of raspberries and currents. We also note some pepper. Very fruit forward.

Not good. Actually sort of bad.
