  Surprisingly light, medium bodied, opaque garnet color, vibrant cedar and floral aromas and flavors predominate with bing cherry, black cherry and black berry flavors with layers of leather, tea and tobacco on the lingering moderate tannin finish. Tasted from magnum.

  Orange red color with watery edges, looks it's age. The nose is mature and fully evoled, some VA, dark fruit and somewhat balsamic. It needed some time in the glass to come together. The palate is somewhat of an disapointment, evolved of course, maybe even to much so.
  Very smooth, tannins are almost gone but there's som fruit left,not much though. The palate to became better after some time in the glass. First couple of sips were very "thin" and I didn't enjoy it, however it seemed to gain some complexity along the way and became a nice drink.
