  Good for the price. Nice density and balance. Ripe dark fruit, herbs and tobacco. Also, very gamey and earthy on the nose and palate. Approachable but my preference would be for time to soften that. Give it several years or drink now.

  Deep dark reddish garnet in color, almost opaque. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, mulberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, herbs, spice notes of cloves & cinnamon, minerals, tobacco & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, mulberries & cranberries with herbs, spices, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but will continue development with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (93+).
