  A friend brought this to share after we finished brewing my first harvest ale on 8/25/18. It had a wonderful deep, rich bouquet of plum, blackberry, blueberry, licorice, smoked meat, toast and spice aromas. The palate was rich, ripe and layered with flavors of plum, blackberry, blueberry, licorice, toast and spice...drinking beautifully. 93+

  No formal notes, but really drinking nicely. Extraordinary length and depth.

  My last bottle of 6, and it was oh so good. Enjoyed with beef tenderloin medallions sprinkled with cracked pepper and sea salt.
  The wine showed beautifully, with aromas of tire rubber, black pepper spice, tart plum skin, bacon grease and black cherry fruit.
  The palate revealed a full bodied wine with moderate alcohol (13.8%), with black cherry pie flavors mixed with plum skin and a background spice. The acidity keeps this big wine lively and fresh, while the softened yet very present tannins lend structure into the long and black-fruited finish.
  Drinking beautifully still, and will likely continue to do so for another 3+ years, but why wait? It is at an apogee and has nowhere to go but down. Delicious.

  Nice dark fruit but not overwhelming the brine and bacon notes. Medium finish, perhaps a touch hot but overall really a nice bottle.
