Opaque, dark red, almost purple hue. Forest floor, red currant preserve, milk chocolate, tar and licorice nose. Jammy with a slight funk behind the extraction. On the palate an avalanche of silky viscous fruit covers the funky tar and forest floor. Red currant jam, dark fruits and a milk chocolate finish lasting 60 seconds. Would have liked more structure and tannin, but at the price it is great. Walks a fine line between fruit forward and flabby well.

Green bell pepper, black cherry, licorice, leather, cedar box. Nice food wine but a little thin in extraction
