Pale ruby-red colored, with high viscosity (14% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of black cherry, rose petal, pomegranate, smoke, a hint of licorice, and leather. The palate is dry, with medium (+) acidity, a medium (+) body, and high tannins that are still young and gritty. Medium (+) intensity flavors embody the fruit but really highlight the old oak aging. The tannins grip for days yet allow for a decently long finish with fruit and secondary notes present. The cherry and leather dominate. It’s a young wine for sure, with loads of cellaring capacity yet it could be drunk soon if decanted/aerated. I think it is worthy of 91 points and available for $30 which makes it a 5 star effort in my books. Drink from 2028-2035. Salut….
