A bit extravagant and over the top. Deep purple with a nose of florals, black cherry, Dr Pepoer and oak. Tastes of blueberries, blackberries, cherry syrup, and spice. If you like big, bold, highly extracted, fruity wines, this is your bottle. It’s still very young and has time. When I reviewed my prior tasting note, I can see how my palate has shifted over the years towards wines with more balance, elegance, and finesse.

Our last bottle was utterly delicious over two nights with no decant. If you've got a few of them try it now. Reminded me of a baby SQN with the dense Blueberry notes. Maybe it tasted so good because the Sox are winning in the playoffs, it's the Bruins opening night and the Revs are the best team in the league.

One hour decant. Deep purple. Nose of blackberry, smoke, black cherry and cedar. Flavors of blackberry, allspice, blueberry, beef and wet stones with a tangy but lite crushed pepper finish. Medium tannins and acidity. Full bodied with a nice smooth mouthfeel. Will only get better with time.

Smooth, like red velvet. A cherry nose with a dark ruby color. No bite at the end. Lovely
