Nose is amazingly complex, I smell something different every time: faint violets, celery, cedar,plum, must. Really awesome. The flavor is not so complex, at leadt now - astringent tannins hit you first, then mild dry blackberry without complexity. Winery says it will develop over time so I will give it the benefit of the doubt. Long linger. Quite pleasant as it is.

Block 10. Sweet nose. Like cookie dough or butterscotch. Those parts fade a bit and you are left with baking flower. HEAVY astringent tannins. Age it. It has the complexity. Smells like below decks on the L.A. Dunton.
