Ruby in color. The nose is very nice with cherries, slight floral notes and tar. On the palate, this has a nice complexity. Layers of cherries, dried cherries and forest floor. Good not great acidity. Long finish. This seemed to coming right along, so we left about 1/3 of the bottle, recorked and on the counter to follow. On night 2, the nose of this was model airplane glue. Very hard to get past. It was fine on the palate, but the nose was terrible. Not sure what that means about ageing but I wouldn't let this get a ton of air once its opened. That said, on Night 1, it was outstanding.
