Opened for 3 hours. Lighter style, M+ acid that seems slightly off balance. Good fruit of cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, ripe strawberry with a hint of spice and menthol. Very smooth tannins.
Hopefully will come into balance over time...followed for a few days and seemed to improve.

1hr decant Ruby red. Violets, raspberries, wild strawberries and some earth Black cherry, cranberry, some forest floor and wood with juicy acidity medium plus and medium plus finish.
Overall this is really pretty. Zippy acidity but great phenolic maturity which made this a delight. I have another bottle and will not touch this for another 5 years...can't wait, enjoy!!
Day 2, more spice and tea notes emerged thank fruits. Still has good material but perhaps checking in on this one in 3 years might be more appropriate.

You could sniff this wine all day. Just cherry and roses and all sorts of lovely scents. The palate is more of the same. Light to medium bodied, much more old world than new, slightly tannic at this point. Rosewater, light cherry, very lightly wooded. Another smash hit from Neal rosenthal, importer extraordinaire.

Muted on opened. Improved quite a bit over a day. So much more expressive at 24 hours. Rosewater. Light Cherry.

Poor showing - thin and lacking fruit.
