See past notes (3-4 months ago) with a + half point improvement as the tertiary notes of soil are starting to overtake the cranberry.

Cranberry, cherry, floral, with fresh herbs and soil. A very nice presence on the palate--a welcome medium plus body, silky. Waning medium acidity, medium minus tannins. Long finish. Well balanced, but also not overly expressive. Very good.

Ruby with full fruit and spice aromas. Big Blackberry and Plum fruit with flavors of cacao, lively acidity and herb spices. Lingering finish, dry tannins that need some time, ending with bright mineral tones. Nice, but put this one in the cellar for a few years.
