Dark, with hints of blue at the edge. Meaty, smokey, intense nose. On the palate there could be a bit more structure, but this is a very lush, forward wine, with gobs of dark, roasted fruit and viscous, mouthcoating texture. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the lack of tannic grip that makes me think this won't last forever. But as good as it is now, who cares?

like blueberry syrup, not quite as heavy, cinnamon dust on the end. Fantastic long finish

Smoke, tar, comfortable oak with crisp blackberry. Just entering peak, likely will get better.
