Very drinkable. Deep black cherry. Still has a lot of tar. Bright tannins. Full mouth feel. Medium finish. Needs a couple more years to reach its peak.

Red garnet color with a ruby rim. No sign of age. Medium heavy stain and nice legs. Strong red and blue fruit nose with sweet cedar. Well balanced palate with lots of cherry, blackberry and blueberry. And a sweet smokiness. Tannins are strong but smoothly integrated. Medium length finish. Enjoyed with prime rib and au gratin potato dinner. This is good now with an hour decant, but can age an easy 5-10 years. I’ll wait at least 3 years before drinking my next bottle to see how it develops.
