Scents are beyond ripe, diving into raisins, prunes and balsamic. The wine smoothes out somewhat in the mouth, with figs and prunes and cooked cherries; but then turns dry and tannic. It seems to be on a fast-track aging curve.

This is quite sharp and tannic; there are somewhat pickled spice flavors, clove and other suggestions of barrel aging, but where’s the fruit?

Very oaky right off the bat, with unintegrated aromas of fresh-cut wood. The green apple flavors are tart and highly acidic, while the oak integration has barely begun. It’s big, acidic, clean and oaky, but offers little in the way of depth or pleasure.

Fresh and fruity, with berries and flavors of hard cherry candy. It’s all up front, there isn’t much after that except some earthy tannins. Pleasant, simple quaffer.
