Medium-dark reddish-purple in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruits of cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, dried herbs, spices, some cocoa notes with a touch of vanilla & toasty oak in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of sweet cherries, tart mulberries & plums with earthy, cocoa, dried herbs, minerals, spices, some vanilla & toasty oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting and extended airing, but will benefit from and develop further from additional aging.

Evolving. Coming together nicely. Not as fruit dominate.
1/16/2019 note: Blackberry compote from nose to finish. Just the right toasty oak and tannin to keep it from being a fruit bomb. 92 pts.
