A little further along agewise than I thought it would be. Fruit is lively, a bit tart, but the tannins are smooth, with a long finish. Not sure on where this is headed but we'll see how it opens up as we drink it tonight.

Somewhat closed and muted. Black currant, black raspberry, dusty cocoa, bitter cherries, unripe plum and raisin notes on the finish. Big tight tannins. Needs time in the bottle. Young

Still inky and dark, but not foreboding. Lovely nose. Stone fruit on the palate, most tannins gone. Very approachable. Would classify as "in the zone". Pairing with strong cheese and hard salami. Winner.
