14.5% alcohol. deep dark purple garnet color. initially a lot of multivitamins and minerals, open up to lovely dark plum, cocoa, cherry, spicy black pepper, graphite, and damp earth notes, hints of cedar vanilla, and oak. well balanced, rich mouthfeel, ripe polished fruit, and firm dusty tannins. much better the next day when a lot more fruit came out.

Dark red rim, ruby core. Med-high intensity on the color. Nose-Clean-Major red berries (especially strawberries). Palate-very fruit forward, lots of fruit confirm the nose on the mid palate. Nice integration of some serius tannins and a long finish. Very pleasantly suprised.

Still very drinkable with dark fruit and nice earthly finish.

extracted nose of smoke , blueberry and blackberry. I found this to be a little over the top in regard to the fruit bomb. Good long finish.
