Dark red and inky. Cedar, kalamata olive, black licorice on the nose. Different on the palate - astringent, allspice, plum, chili pepper. Unique profile. I think I like it more than prior bottles.

Dark red inky color. On the nose, black pepper, charcoal, sharp sage and other vague herbal notes. On the palate, a hint of promise quickly becomes very tart cherry and blackberry. A strange wine - seems like the acid is overpowering the fruit and not letting it blossom.

Huh. Weird to say the least. No blue or black fruit at all for me. All raspberry and tart strawberry even. A burst of acid on the finish gives it an odd sweetness.

Just slightly better than a year ago. Still has too much tart raspberry, insufficient depth, and tinny aftertaste that is less than expectation.
