Deep ruby core, hint of garnet on the rim. Deep, concentrated aromas of black cherry, steamed rice(?), hint of oxidized cherry. Med b, med p acid, med p tannin, med p intensity. Soft texture, still dominant bitterness of leather but it have hint of dried cherry note. More fruitier, smoother than 2010.
