Truncated notes. Advancing faster than other 15s I’ve had, it seems ready to drink with loads of secondary and tertiary characteristics of leather, earth, and warm terra cotta roof tile. Tannins resolving, the palate still shows a bit of nice dark macerated cherry fruit, and nice buoyant acid.

Dried cherry, persimmon, anise, medium bodied and well made. Perfect time for cork popping, this is ready to drink and drinking well. Lingering dried dark fruits, slight acidity, and just a chino or two of tannin.
Smells of carmalized almonds.

Fresh fruit shows through here - red delicious apple, Pom, cherry preserve. Roof of your mouth tannins , slight acidity. Light in body, light in weight. Easy quaffer.

Color is alarmingly advanced. Nose has menthol, dried leaves, cured tobacco, very ripe fruit, and scorched earth note. The alcohol (15%) also is apparent on the nose. On entry, the palate is very ripe and peppery, but dries out pretty quickly as the scorchy notes and dried leaves come on. It’s a little puzzling how this got to be 15% in such a moderate growing season, but it seems to me this would have benefited from earlier picking.

Big potpourri nose, needed some time to open to show its red fruits. The texture and mouthfeel never found a direction, not bad but probably not worth the $50 tag
