Lots of tannin. Offset by lots of fruit. Opens up and even better the 2nd night.

This one remains high on my list. Dark cherry type fruit with good pepper undertones. Has legs. Not bland at all.

Not great, but not bad. Not much flavor. Smells better than it tastes.

Delicate aroma. Soft with very little dark fruit taste. Other people rave but just bland for me.
