Medium density ruby red. Raspberry, vanilla, and white pepper nose. Very oaky, like licking a 2x4. Surprisingly light bodied, with some cherries poking through, pepper, tobacco, drying tannins, a slight burning sensation in the back, and a short to medium finish. Definitely not my style; to me its almost undrinkable. It improves with air time, but not enough.

Dark ruby red. Raspberry puree and pepper nose. Lots of cherrys and lots of wood, leaving a very spicy, dry aftertaste. After a few hours it became better integrated, but was still excessively oaky.
