Day two added more red fruits to the nose; raspberries, strawberries, red cherries and green twigs. Moderate acidity (7/10) and tannins (6/10). Medium plus bodied with a backbone of red cherries, strawberries, slight forest greenery, and tomato leaves. Day two added some spices and rounded out the palate. Medium plus to long finish.
