  Intense sweet red berry aroma (cherry, strawberry, raspberry) with secondary notes of herbs, dried flowers, and smoked meats. Rich red cherry, vanilla and cola flavors with a blueberry finish. Also some unique citrus and clementine notes throughout. Perfectly balanced richness, acidity and tannins.
  
  Starting to show a little age but needs more time if you want tertiary character. Tons of backbone remaining - no rush here. Hold.

  Excellent. Spice, herbs, twigs, fruit. Softens over hours, even day two.
  Nice acid and tannins that suggest more years in the cellar. Great nose, fantastic finish.

  Earthy, with mushrooms and a touch of funk. Savory rich blue fruits, fading structure and a lengthy finish. This was probably better a year or two ago. In a word: disappointing.

  Almost like a French burgundy; smooth, smoky, restrained.

  Initial aroma of cherry cola. After some air, more dark cherry, wet rocks, anise and cardamom on the nose. Well - integrated on the palate. Bitterness comes through on the long finish. Great with grilled salmon!
