Nose: barnyard, funky, blackberries, salty meat, soil, cardomen. The barnyard dissipates after about 2 hours in the decanter. Palate: blackberries, plum, salty meat, peppercorns, cherry, some tobacco. Fine tannins, full body, medium acidity, long finish.

Opened, poured out 4oz, gave it a good shake to blow off sulfides, and let it sit open for 5-6 hours. Reticent nose. Blueberry, raspberry, bacon and a hint of mineral notes. Medium mouthfeel. Juicy fruit with some tomato juice flavors and moderate tannins are just a little dry on the end. It has a noticeable acidity that would pair well with food. Drink or hold short term.

Medium nose shows game, dark fruit, black plum, herbal tones. Palate is both fresh and funky, black fruit layers, blood iron, a meaty feel, but then fruit layers are the primary tone, some dried spice in there. Hefty structure with medium plus tannins and body. Nice take on the varietal with some Old World influence.

Fantastic! Like a candied cranberry pie. Snorting cocoa powder off your great grandmother's oak or walnut dresser. Really enjoyed.
