Inky, slightly cloudy red. Blueberry, leather, and a bit of funk on the nose. Full bodied, piercing blackberries, dirty tannins, heat, black cherries, smoke, good acid, and a long, darkly fruited finish. It got measurably better over 3 days.

Nicely constructed wine with good structure. Balanced fruit and acidity with leather and secondary notes starting to shine through. However, significant heat from the 15.5% alcohol on the finish.

Better than last time, more mature, with plenty of fruit left. Its a really "thick" wine, which is fine by me.
