A little past it’s prime. Still delicious. Dried fruit, medium acidity, developed tannins.

Beautiful aroma and vibrant like it should be for a 12. I really enjoyed the tannins holding. Great red fruit and served a little cold it's tasty.

Cherry forward when first opened, a little sugary, but not super sweet

Starts off fairly light and fruit forward, with little in the way of weight or complexity. With two hours of air, though, the fruit recedes a bit and the substantial drying tannins make themselves known. This may hold more interest when/if it all becomes more integrated in a few years. My score reflects current enjoyment, not the likely potential here.
