Gave it a few hours to open before dinner, then drank it with our brick oven pizzas. Very nice with dinner, showing sour cherries, a bit of earth, and substantial body. Wish I had one more.

Still drinking very young. Decanted for an hour before serving, but didnt really start to show its potential for 2 more hours.. then it came together very nicely. Nice dry sour cherry, dusty dry tannins with a touch of herb.

Definitely needs a couple of hours open -- because upon initial pour it was pretty closed. But later it became nicely luscious and rich. Excellent nose of dark fruit and cedar. Palate is very plummy and chewy with moderate tannins at the end that extend a dryness to it.

Very similar to bottle opened in 2012. Same qualities -- almost no change over the year.

Ready on pop n pour, and pleasant enough; curious to see if it fills out on day 2.
