Big boy. Deep in color. Nose of coffee, smoky meat and dark fruit. Medium to heavy mouth feel. Palate of blackberries, plum, chocolate, coffee and smoky meat. Really sang after an hour of air. Wish I had a few more of these in the cellar.

This is a monster. So much going on. Blackberry, blueberry, a little cocoa, bacon fat, minerality. The fruit is so strong that it can hold the 15.9%. Drinking young now and can go another 5-7 years.

Monster aromas of smokey meaty black fruit. Similar flavor on the full bodied palate. Very explosive with jammy fruit. Sweet gripping tannins round this out well. A little heat on the back end, but the fruit hides the 15.9% well.

A wine like no other. The nose hits you with a rich dark berries and hints of dark chocolate. The Palate continues to surprise with a well spicey mixed with fruits. Good structure with enough back end for this to linger a whilel but not over extend its welcome. God bless Fess's soul....should have bought a few more
