Nose of dark black and purple fruits, soft chocolate, and deep earth. Lots of fruit.
Similar dark fruits on the palate, a bit of tar, bitter earth with some dark minerals, and wet tree bark. Love the fruits here with a nice richness but the damn heat is showing so badly and it is so damn stubborn. Great entry on the front and mid palate but that heat on the finish is like the highway to hell. I hope this heat resolves with some time. 94-96

As good now as when I enjoyed it last year. I find this less “big” than most Saxum bottlings.

So dark and brooding with just some pepper on the mid palate

I think it has hit its prime window. Should go years from here, but so balanced with layers of fruit and spice. Long finish.
