Pop and pour. Color is clear, ruby red. No browning. Bit of reduction blew off right away. Fruit seemed thin at first, but it opened up nicely. Very refreshing and drank wonderfully. The village burg comparison is still right on.

Notes from day 2. Dark red to violet color. Nose has some cherry cola comming through a small dose of oak, with a little floral note and maybe a hint of mint following. On the palate there was cherry, raspberry, acidity, and tannin on the tail. The finish is pretty short and the acidity in this wine makes it very food friendly, instead of ideally balanced. All in all a decent buy at 26.00, but not as good as I recall. While the nose turned out to be the lone highlight, the wine overall seems to be shut down right now IMO. Hold. 50+5+13+13+5

Excellent. Still young in every sense but acidity lacking for a long haul.
