Deep, deep garnet with a transparent rim. Ample legs confirm the 13.6% ABV. Nice nose of smoked meat and dark fruit. Palate reflects aromas. Slightly bitter, mostly resolved tannins well balanced with stewed fruits. Ample acidity keeps this from being goopy. All in all a decent, if not spectacular, bottle.
