Didn't wait long to crack one from the most recent Davidn dump .
 
Color is a medium dark ruby, while the nose shows notes of strawberries, plum, brown sugar, and a touch of asian spice and slight stemmy notes (pleasant - anyone know the % whole cluster used?).  On the palate the wine is soft, lush, and full, with good balance with the exception of a little heat peaking through in the mid palate and finish.  I don't think this is a long term ager, but should hold nicely for at least the next few years.  89 points.
 
Thanks Davidn!
