Open the bit dry and dusty and took a little while to develop, but definitely came in strong with chewy, dried tart, cherries, pomegranate, Dusty cooking herbs, cured meats, and stayed nicely developed over 2 to 3 days of drinking. Very delicious

dark red fruit, Cassis, chewy raspberry, good, medium body, medium tannins. Really just a well rounded good drinking wine. Started off a little bit of spice, but that tapered off pretty quickly.

Shy nose. Quite high pitched. Med bodied. Red cherry, wood spice with beautifully managed soft talcum tannins. Lived the beef meatballs.
