Blackberry and lavender, showing some signs of advancement with a creme de cassis nose. Full bodied, dark fruited, medium, ripe tannin, structured and balanced. Could age more, though seems unlikely to grow in complexity. Clean finish.

Didn't take detailed notes. Huge wine with big blackberry, very meaty, and spicy on the palate. There's alot of alcohol here, but it's balanced very nicely by the big fruit. Needed about a hour to get going. This wine has the guts to age for a long time. I wish I had another bottle.

Aromas of blackberries, lavender. Tastes of blackberries, black currants, violets, and a bit of spice. Grippy tannins. Full-bodied. Very nice!
We think this could age a few more years.

Ripe, smoky nose, garnet color. Super ripe fruit, doubt if it will result in a long-lived wine, so drink up!
