Beautiful deep ruby color. Aromas of dark red fruits, cedar, a hint of barnyard. Silky smooth tannins, with mineralogy and almost soapy texture that coats the tongue from tip to the way-back. On the first day, prune fruit was up front, with some almost bitter notes of stem and iodine. On day 2, complex cola flavors shine through, with a touch of iodine remaining. We drank it last night with home-made pizza from our pizza oven; it would add dimensions to a far more ambitious meal.

Relatively disappointing, compared to other Baron offerings. Lacks much depth and texture. Found the finish a bit off-putting. On the young side, so we’ll see how the other two bottles develop.

Not sure what happened here. Not corked but clearly flawed. Maybe second fermentation? Maybe decanter wasn’t clean or had soap residue?
