Bought this at winery in 2010, cellared since. 15.2% abv. Dark purple color, lighter rim. As expected with high alch viscous, slow tears in glass. Nose of blueberry pie including the crust, clove, oak, quite restrained. In mouth, medium feel, soft, tannins throughout, med plus length. Blueberry pie again, hint of green pepper and charcoal. Respectable, but starting to reach end of the line - drink up.

Funny I didn't like this nearly as well as others. Inky dark with dense fruit - like others from this producer and things I normally enjoy. But it has a lingering bitter astringency that for me overwhelms the rest.
