Dark cherry and herbal notes on nose. Still good acidity with development on palate. Rounder tannins

More like it. Definitely not a powerhouse. Delicate, almost Burgundian in weight, delicacy, dark cherry notes and acidity. Some funky oak that blows off. Light at first, puts on considerable weight in the glass. Could probably have used a decant or three and unsurprisingly pairs better with food. Old school all the way. Seems like it has structure to get better with even more time...

So wonderfully floral. Fruit emerges on the palate after a couple of hours

Dark cherry, perhaps some licorice on the nose. Dark cherries, chewy tannins, leathery.
