  Tasted over 2 hrs
  -purple-red
  -piercing grenache kirsch tar
  -med acidity, med/med+ weight full palate juicy earthy purple grenache fruit finishes with a mildly bitter minerality and just a touch of heat that accentuates the med tannins
  -this is really quite good now with all the elements in the right place and full of energy but wouldn't wait any longer

  Ruby colour with some brown on edges. Fresh strawberry and raspberry on nose with some spicy notes. Luscious ripe berry fruit on palette with medium body and tannins to balance it nicely. Finishes with some pepper spice and slight tartness. Drinking well now.

  Good color. The nose shows aromas of dark berries, pepper, herbs and a hint of flowers. This is medium full bodied on the palate with good concentration and decent class. The medium plus length finish features slightly rustic tannins.

  Popped and poured
  Very dark purple color
  Black berry, heat, hint of black truffles, a little earthiness, mutton, a little cherry on the nose
  FlavorsHeat, alcohol mixed with chocolate, prune, lots of prune. A hint of black cherry flavor comes out. Acid high, weight medium plus. A bit too aggressive for my palette. Probably could do with a decant.
