  Double decanted and drank about 4 hours later. Loads of ripe, black cherries, with savory and coffee notes. Fine grained tannins. Fairly long finish. The acidity gives the wine a freshness which is wonderful against the powerful fruit.

  Great zin, without a lot of oak. Dark barries and a bit of leather, well balanced.

  2 hr decant, and while very good now, clear tannins and structure for aging. The wine has more backbone than I recall from prior vintages. Recommended to check back in 1-2 years, or to have with flavorful and/or spicy foods.

  Popped and poured into a Glasvin Expression.
  
  Immediately friendly nose of cherry pie and vanilla ice cream. After time some herbal hints emerge. The palate is similarly rich (deep-)red fruited, with some pastry and creaminess nodding to obvious oak influence. What keeps it from cloying is a strong pull of acid that sort of slices down the middle, and a back end of well-integrated but firm tannin that adds fine grained texture to what was otherwise quite soft. The finish is not the longest, but this is a quite enjoyable drink for the first real snow of the year.
