14.8% abv. Dark plum purple, dark core, light crimson rim. Red staining of tears. Fragrant dark berry, olive, smoky meat, balsamic, white pepper nose. Grippy with plenty of tannins, acid and evident structure for long aging. Very long finish, with more smoky meat but not yet layered. Will let this beast open up over next 2 days and see what time and air bring.

No formal notes taken, delicious but not refined, showing plenty of structure, should have held this several more years.

Pretty nice. Bright red and a little black fruit. A little acidic, moderate tannins.
