Deep dark plum & blackberry aromas are enticing. Medium bodied, with lots of pepper up front leading to dark fruits, cherry. Subtle tannin and little acid with a slightly hot finish. Nothing special.
Edit.. much better on the second day, the pepper subsided for more fruit, deep blackberry, and a touch of licorice... upped from 83 to 86

Spicy and peppery aromas on the nose. Black fruit and sour cherry, pepper and a hint of coco. Enjoyed with a leg of lamb. Great match.
