Garnet coloration. Good amount of translucency. On the nose, cherry, minerals and hints of leather. On the palate, cherry, cranberry, minerals, and a long finish with hints of light strawberry and floras- some rose perhaps. Tannins strong out of the bottle. Will need to decant for a while and revisit. Wonderful first impression. After several hours decanting, the palate evolved to include strawberry, spice and pepper. — 4 days ago
