  Delicious flavor but still young, needs a few more years to peak

  Cranberry jelly and strawberries, fruit forward but not all all overwhelming. Low tannin pleasant acid, nice finish. I enjoyed it very much!

  Notes 15 minutes after opening - continued to improve with air. Light red, clear color. Great nose - glycerin, red raspberry, strawberry, garrigue and licorice. Rich on palate with medium+ body, medium+ acidity and low tannins. Very long finish. Flavor profile more fruit primary than nose but got better with air. Loved this. I prefer this to the VV. 93-94
  
  will try and buy some more.

  Lots of red and black cherry, blackberry and raspberry, a bit of violets especially early on. We let it breathe for 2 hours and it likely still had more in it. Very impressive.

  Nose: The nose is fragrant, deep and with a savory richness filled with plums, hoisin sauce, licorice, black cherries, black raspberries, white pepper, dust, violets, asian spices, potpourri, and liqueur tones. The nose really wakes up and blossoms after a few hours in the decanter.
  
  Taste: The feel is full bodied with medium acidity and chewy, medium+ tannins. There is excellent depth with plums, black cherries, black raspberries, licorice, white pepper, dust, asian spices, violets, and potpurri that really blossoms on the finish.
  
  Overall: While this can certainly use another 5+ years of aging, it's really delicious and giving right now with a good amount of air. This doesn't attempt to be a subtle Chateauneuf but there is an elegance backed up with a good amount of richness and balance.
