Dark tawny with some scarlet. Almost opaque. Fruit forward nose. Notes of ripe bing cherries, sandalwood, flowers and ripe rhubarb. Rich fruit in the mouth balanced against some big shoulder structure. This was flabby at first, fruity and hot (representative of the vintage)... but with air everything came together. A nice surprise. Still young but enjoyable if you give it a ton of air.
