Popped this about 20 minutes ago. Nose is already revving up. Showing earthy cherry cola scents, and a wee bit of toasted autumn spice (or maybe that latter thing is me sitting in the deck on this nice November evening surrounded by fallen leaves). Deep ripe, earthy fruit hits the palate immediately, and then the tannins take over. I know this is too young but I wanted to get a sense of its starting position. Palate clenches a bit after the first whack of fruit and a little astringent on the finish, but I think a couple of years rest will settle it down. Pretty solid 9.0 at present with potential to go a bit higher in a few years.
