6/5/2019 Beautiful clear deep garnet in color, with a moderate aroma of dark fruit and smoke. On the palate it is smooth, smooth smooth. full bodied and dry with layers of fruit flavors. I am drinking it relatively young, but it some age, but I like them with the fruit prominent and this one is certainly. Acidity is smooth and tannins are medium and round. The balance is excellent. Flavors are black cherry, spice and oak. The mouth feel is velvety and luxurious, bold yet elegant with a medium-long satisfying finish.
Had it on one of first days back in Vermont for the summer.

This wine is a remarkably pleasant surprise. The complexity and balance are superior. I feel I've jumped into a bushel of dark fruits and fallen leaves dusted in cocoa smoked lightly over a cedar campfire in a hemlock grove. I indulged in burying my nose in the glass before and after each gulp. The medium body accommodates all the essences with none jutting out of balance. If I could wish for improvements it would be more glyceryl cling to the cheeks and corresponding added length to the finish.
