Paired this with a steak & it didn't work out. Tannins were to soft. Otherwise it was nice. Big notes of blackberry jam with a whisper of oak & tobacco smoke. There is heat but you don't taste the true 15.5% of this beast.

Astounding. Similar in many ways to a well-aged Klinker Brick Old Ghost Zin - a huge wine with deep complexity, smooth tannins and a finish that goes on and on. Wow.

Turns out his was the Wine of the Night at tasting #15. It is inky purple and opaque AF. Initially the members noted a dusty smell- which led on to black pepper, herbs, tobacco, dried fruits, cigar, prunes, blackberry jam and was considered 'leathery'. On the palate it was very rich and full bodied with prunes, blackberry compote, cracked black pepper, dark chocolate, coffee beans, raisins and tobacco. I thought it was delicious and worthy of a juicy Filet. It was not very tannic at all, inconsistent with the varietal, but I was not complaining. It gets 92 points from me and 5 stars for sure at it only runs $20. Buy it by the case and drink till 2026.

This is still tasty. Easy to drink upon opening - lots of dark fruit and a peppery finish. Probably has a year or two left.
