This has really sweet and pretty fruit on the nose, some really ripe cherry, blackberry, sweet cranberry sauce, a little bit of fresh tobacco. The palate has grip, but is not soul or mouth destroying, the tannin is already starting to get finer and while I do think this needs some food or a few more years, it really is quite delicious, it just needs some fat to counteract the still fairly firm tannic grip. It has really nice acidity and will improve in the cellar over the next 5-10 years without a doubt and then past that too. Pretty crazy to have that kind of longevity on a bottle this price. Life is fun.
