Medium ruby (not as dark as I expected); a fair amount of volatile acidity right upon opening, so I let it blow off for awhile; medium plus intensity aromas of blackberry fruit leather, dried black plum, black cherry, black raspberry, vanilla; dry, medium acid, medium ripe tannins, high alcohol, full body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; not as concentrated as I was expecting

Love the nose, rose petal, juniper, orange peel, cinnamon, muddled black raspberry. Palate has some great structural balanced, wild and savory mix of fruit, earth, and herbal notes. WC sticks out some, but showed more integration on day two. Very stemmy upon opening, very young though, could see that melding over the next year or so
