Classic style. Color is on the lighter side, showing a little amber at the rim, but the nose is quite vigorous. It shows sappy, macerated cherry (with a slight sour note), deep spice and gravel. Full flavors on the mouth, with nice transparency and deep, clingy cherry and leather flavors, nice acids and still a good whack of tannin. Can age a few years more but delicious now.

Bonkers good. Similar to previous with more integrated tannins. Amazing with food. Dried cherries, dried herbs, minerals, leather, so freaking good. We drank this fast!

Brick color, a ton of flowers, bark, dried cherries, dried herbs, very complex. Insanely good with Italian Easter dinner. Needs more time. I opened for 4 hours and it is still pretty tannic and young.
