This seemed a bit reticent at this point in its life cycle. No doubt it will emerge soon but if opening soon, best go give this a long decant. Ruby/purple in appearance. Mostly clear and bright. The nose has cherries, black cherries, and spice. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, cherries with some black cherries. Spice/oak with some forest floor notes. Good acidity. Moderate finish. Right now this drinks better with food than on its own. Mushroom Ragout would work well. Hold for three to five years and drink for ten to twelve after that.
