Pretty clean aromas with dusty red fruits and slight tomato plant on the nose. Some oak and barrel spice as well. Dried red fruits on the palate with medium plus acidity and tannin. Clean but light tannic finish.

Smooth and leathery with an animal funk on top of chocolate and cherry.

Dried cherry, espresso grounds, tobacco, anise, and cracked pepper. There’s a sense of American oak. Layered with tertiary flavors. Loads of depth. Tempranillo is classical shown on the palate. Cherry fruit is bright and accented with bramble berries and forest notes. There’s a sense of soy sauce and umami. Tannins are integrate and acidity lingers. Warm but not hot. Lots of length.

Dark, rich forest berries. Plum. Black tea. Juicy mouthfeel, not overripe. Blackberry, steeped tea, and saddle leather. Touch of heat then dry tannin with a dusty finish. In a very nice place right now, but has several years left.

Big and bold, better with allowing it to open up 2-3 hours
