Nice wine! On the nose, raspberry and blueberry, with notes of black pepper, flowers, and chocolate. Palate offers sweet wild berry, counterbalanced by notes of pepper and citrus. Long spiccy finish. Good stuff.

Decanted for about three hours. Really dark purple with a ruby red rim, very cloudy, very hefty. Light aroma of dark plum, some pepper, some smoke, some violets. Palate is a tart plum flavor that gives way to a complexity of spices all over the palate with some smoke notes and acidity. Not a lot of texture, but yields a nice finish that gains intensity after the wine is gone. Really nice combo with grilled hamburgers. Drinkable today, definitely will benefit from cellaring time.

Tart and Acidic flavor profile. This wine is speeding downhill - drink now.
