The color is starting to look like it has age to it, almost a deep blood orange ring. Nose of earth, dry dirt, leather, cinnamon, blackberry, blood orange. Tannins fading with acidity still making the whole mouth salivate. The blood orange, leather and cinnamon bark hit upfront, with tree bark and dried dirt following. This is really nice. Drink within the next 5 years. Great with meaty pasta dishes.
