Dark ruby color with tinges of purple. Vanilla, spices, oak, leather, graphite and a echo of tobacco on the nose. Dusky on the palate with a blend of aged black and red fruits and more of the above spices, oak, leather vanilla. Great acidity on the finish with a lot of those secondary characteristics cOming through. Five days later under private preserve I got a whiff of blood orange and cherry marmalade, leather on the nose and red berry fruit, smooth tannins, wood, mocha and coffee on the finish.

At Boston Wine & Poker, Needham, Mass, Sept. 18, tasted blind:
This has some bite -- tannic, intense, and complex.

Still a baby. Delicious but still dominated by primary fruit.

Lots of life for the first hour of decanting, then fell off the cliff quickly.

This is drinking well. Appears young based on the colour. No significant tannin. Good fruit concentration. No noticeable oak. Drink or hold.
