Dark tawny color, mostly opaque. Bright bing cherry nose right away. Sappy and exotic. Also notes of sweet raspberries, dark moist earth, spice and a little menthol. Angular, huge in the mouth, has a sweetness yet very complex. Needed 5 hrs of air to really open up. Just starting to show secondary characteristics. Long life in front of it.
