deep dark purple garnet color with some sediment. Black pepper, crushed rocks, blackberries, black and red cherry, cocoa, licorice, bell pepper, and dusty earth and sage notes. full bodied and bone dry with dark fruit and big chalky tannins that are firm and gripping.

super dark inky color. black pepper, stones, rocks, hint of pine needles, sour plum, dark berries, spicy cocoa, and hints of cabbage and applesauce. full bodied. lacked fruit, a bit awkward and off balance for me. after a few days it got tar and molasses notes, asphalt, weird sweet and sour cabbage, yeast and dried apple sauce, with hints of flint and burnt match stick.

Dark, ink stain red, nose is very perfumed but a little rustic and you can almost smell the tannins, explodes in the mouth with lots of ripe red fruit, mint, spice with hints of tobacco and wood, medium to long finish, polished, complex, unbelievable value
