Loads of black fruit on the nose, along with crushed rock, roasted meat, and coffee bean. There's also a perfume smell towards the end. Earthy and meaty on the palate, with nice cherry and raspberry on the mid-palate, and minerals and coffee at the end.
Lots of mocha and earth on the nose, followed by bright berries and cigar leaves. Much fruitier on the palate - mainly boysenberry and blackberry, along with pencil lead and coffee. It finishes with lots of earth.
Lots of spice on the nose, mainly cinnamon and cloves with a touch of white pepper. The fruit in the middle is very jammy, and the finish has just a touch of dirt. Less fruity on the palate, with lots more earth and spice.
Ripe berries and chocolate on the nose, with globs of creamy vanilla and tar behind. There's also some spice and plum at the end. Rich and juicy on the palate, with lots of spice and berry. There's some green tannins on the mid-palate, but the finish recovers a little with some chocolate flavors.
Peach and floral notes on the nose, with an interesting burnt match and citrus oil aroma underneath. Great acidity on the palate, with more stone and match flavors, followed by citrus and just a touch of peach.
