Purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of wet stones, berries and fertilizer. Flavors of berries, cherries and a dash of plums. Medium acidity, firm tannins, medium to full bodied. Can be drank now with air time or hold until the medium term and go from there.

The nose had cherry and raspberry, with a slight hint of earthy dirt, and some coffee and vanilla. The palate was very tannic, and had dirt, mocha, cherry, and an oaky finish.
