Deep ruby color with pronounced nose of Ripe strawberry, red plum and jamminess (Neil) and white pepper, cinnamon, all spice, unripe plum and nutmeg (Jesse). On the palate, off dry with high acid, medium + ta nibs, high alcohol and a medium body and finish. Moderately complex with dark cherry, dark plum, cooked strawberry, cinnamon, clove, and mild meatiness, earthiness, leaves, tobacco, and and leather. Balance - 1, length 0.5, intensity 0.75, complexity 0.75. Overall 3/4 good to very good quality *pairing with fatty meats accentuates the red fruit character

Dark purple color. Earth and spice in the bouquet. Ripe dark fruits, some earthy tones, silky and lush, with moderate acidity. Easy to like this. This is ready.

Peppery, red berries, vanilla, smoke and herbal characteristics mesh with the medium/full bodied, soft, round, black raspberry and cherry filled personality. This is already drinking well.

Was hoping for more given some age on it, but it was just OK. Disappointing for the price.
