No formal notes. Decanted briefly off its sediment and rebottled. Consumed over the course of five hours. Has held up very well, still with a deep color and aromas of white pepper, dark fruit and spice. Nice fruit remains on the palate; finishes well.

Nice deep color with notes of brambly dark fruit, raspberry and violets expand to include meat, florals and licorice aromas. Medium boded, with good acidity and flavors of black cherry, clove, pepper and dark fruit. In a really good place right now.

The Blind Drunks monthly tasting (Our house): Garnet color. Aromas of plummy dark fruit and spices. Flavors of spice, plum, dark fruit and leather. Nicely balanced with decent underlying acidity.

Cranberry red color. Subtle note of raisin with red fruit and perfumed floral qualities. Peppery red fruit on the palate. 89-90 pts.
