Opened, not decanted. Light browning crimson in color. Aromas of ripe cherries, black tea, and forest floor are expressive in the nose. The palate shows a nice arrangement of strawberries, violets, cola, and Asian spices. This still drinks young, with crisp acidity and sweet tannins.

This is a little over the top with the cherry cola taste profile. Very distracting.

92+. Sat. wine lunch. Very pleasant, though not spectacular.

A fuller, smokier drink, picking up weight with age. Excellent.
