  Decanted about 20-30 min before first glass. Fully opened up by 60 min. To the nose, dark fruit with some forest. On the palate, hot (14.5%) and lively. Blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry more than black raspberry, plum and sour/red cherry. White pepper more than black pepper, sage, cinnamon or clove for spices. A whisp of orange peel or mint near the finish? Tannins are in smooth strings providing good structure. Medium mouthfeel and medium length. Interestingly complex - not in layers but more of a mix. Paired well with grilled pork and baked sweet potato. Excellent QPR. Drinks very well right now - would not wait much longer.

  Beautiful evening with the loved ones and this guy out of Spain. Interesting blend of grenache merlot sirah and carignan....heavy cedar and leather to the nose. Plum blueberry cedar leathers and dust to the palate. A very bit hot! HOT! With an almost 15 percent alcohol content. Med plus finish. Nice...but hot!
