Black in the glass with a clear meniscus and slight change in color from rim to center.
Blackberry, blackberry jam, charred wood & tobacco on nose. Similar flavor profile (ex. charred wood) on palate. Full body, medium acidity, high tannins (from grapes & oak treatment) and long finish. Very enjoyable - a big wine but it has the structure to keep this from flabbiness. It held up well overnight under a vacu-vin. 93+/-
Would buy again.

Vin chocolaté de type moderne, avec des effluves de noix de coco, une rondeur amenée par l’alcool. Concu dans un style flatteur, mûr, simple, et racoleur. C’est pas mauvais, mais pour tout dire, il m’ennuie profondément! Je déplore les notes ronflantes habituelles que récoltent ces types de vins ambitieux, dénués d'esprit. 85 pts

Concentrated. Extremely so. This is porn in a glass. Almost too much.

Did not decant and this wine needs air to breathe. Didn't take formal notes but this paired well with grilled NY strips. Would buy again.
