Dark maroon in color. Nose of wild strawberry, raspberry, barn wood, and fresh turned earth. Second nose is more of the same along with dark cherry and cola. Very smooth. Good fruit and tannins supporting it. Aged well.

Garnet with a hint of brown. Nose of dark cherry, fresh turned earth, and cocoa powder. Second nose opens up with more of the same along with raspberry, vanilla, cranberry, and a hint of cola. Smooth on entry then dry throughout the palate with a tannic finish.

I think I was expecting a lot more here. This wine board with a translucent character. Nose and palate was consistent with a youthful purple brambly type of fruit, but not as in your face or squared off as I would have expected it to be. This seems to be very rounded on the front and actually more jagged and acidic towards the rear. I do feel like this wine was maybe opened a couple of years too soon, as it is my belief that it really has not had the time for proper integration. I would rate this a 91 at present. But I don't feel like that is really fair to do and not deserving of this wine at this time. I would hold future bottles for at least three years as I see an immense upside potential to 94 or 95. Just gotta give this one more time.
