Tasted after 90 minutes of air. Dark garnet color. A slight smoke taint here. I am a bit mixed on this. I tasted these with other tasters and they didn't think it stuck out as a heavily smoked wine. I was able to pick it up though. Some sweet cherry fruit. Firm drying tannins. Hard to pick up any secondary characteristics due to the smoke. Still I don't think this is a complete washout and will drink these.

Some red cherry fruit. Not as pronounced as previous vintages. A bit short on the finish

Would prefer more acidity.
