The color is garnet red and showing signs of a mature wine. The nose is lush and seductive with notes of ripe strawberry, cola, and spice. The palate is soft and acidic with firm tannin on the finish. This is drinking really well right now. Why wait?

14.1% alcohol. This has developed beautifully. It's very refined and quite elegant. Pretty red cherry color with slight bricking at the rim of the glass.

A terrific bottle. A-

Cranberry, pomegranate, cola, and earth on the nose. The palate suffers from the unintegrated acid additions. Simple caramel notes of ripe plum.

Red cherry, cola, vanilla. Still has a bit if life. Not much change over several evenings. Short finish or it would have been 90+.

Garnet. Leggy. Cherry and red fruit nose. Cherry, spice, and leather and a reasonable mouthfeel. No better than a year ago, but nice.
