Deep ruby to deep purple, sage, black cherry, boysenberry, and black currant jam, sweet and jammy on the attack followed by loads of spicy black fruits, some smoke, medium acidity, touches of minerality and soft tannins, finish is dark, and savory with dense black and blue fruit, touches of earth, pepper and lingering jammy notes
Note: Solid wine just a little too yolked for me

Deep garnet to deep ruby, subtle nose with hints of rose, black currant, tar, earth, licorice, and a little must, "nervy" on the attack with dark, slightly stewed fruit, hints of orange rind, strong acidity and strong tannins, plump finish with black tea, floral notes, wood, cherry, subtle spice, and more

Deep ruby to deep purple, black currant, black plum, earth, cedar, eucalyptus, and black licorice on the nose, plump on the attack with rolling layers of black and red fruit, earth, and spice, with medium plus acidity, and medium plus tannins, finish is forever, with layers of complex dark fruits, dark chocolate, mocha, black tea, streaks of minerality, and on and on, wow
Note: purchased four years ago at the winery, provenance always makes a difference
