  Again...a light clear garnet color and a tart nose pf cherry that still had some dark fruit notes and spice. Lively and firm with a good balance from entry to finish...holding its own.

  A very light garnet color and as my son said...translucent, with a shade of bricking on the edge. On opening it was all cherry and firm, but with time that broadened with a nice sense of dark berries and some spice. Firm and well framed from the entry to the finish with rich fruit and surprisingly a sense of youthful heat throughout. This is strong enough to pair with any entry...yet elegant enough to not detract in a pairing. With a few bottles left...I need to be creative!
