Heavy mousse and quick bead. Nose is sourdough, red delicious apple, and limestone. Palate adds some citrus highlights, and a slight bitterness to the finish that doesn't do it any favors. Still, pretty good for $11.

Clear garnet in the glass. Powdery fruit, rose, violet, sour cherry, sandalwood, light herbaceous notes, and dry gravel on the nose. Palate is the same with sharp acidity and slightly grainy tannins. Drank decanted over several hours. Last glass was the best. I'd expect this to easily go another 8-10 years.

Pours even magenta. Bit of sulfur that blew off immediately in the glass. Powdery cherry hard candy, rose, lavender, blackberry pie, clove, and a touch of gravelly minerality on the nose. Palate carries over, with a bracing acidity, and drinkable freshness. Tannins are very light and smooth, there's no heat here, this hides the 15.7% alcohol well. Great now, probably one to drink within the next five years or so.
