  PnP, with waves of black raspberry, beef, and blood on the nose. Satiny mouthfeel, with modest flavors of dark berry commingling with a sanguine note. A bit of heat shows on the finish, otherwise it holds the 16.5% well. Probably a year or two past its peak, but still fun to drink.

  Ruby center with brick red rim. Complex, expressive nose of plums, lavender, olive, and black pepper. Tart plum, lavender, olive, smoked meat, and pepper on he palate. Medium-bodied, moderate acidity and some tannic presence on the finish. Overall, this is a wine that reflects a northern Rhône profile, think aged Cornas, with its plum, heavy pepper, and lavender notes as well as its masculine structure.

  Nice again. Took about 2-3 hours to come together. Some secondary flavors developing.

  This did have some nice exotica aromas of meat/blood, dark fruit, and spices but the alcohol was so high I just could not enjoy this.

  Still dark purple color. The nose explodes from the glass with blackberry, herbs, meaty notes, and a floral component. The palate is still youthful with rich blackberry, violets, meat, and spicy pepper notes on the finish. There is great vibrancy in this medium-bodied wine, and the acidity balances the fruit while the integrated tannins provide follow through. Overall, this was quite a lovely wine that paired beautifully with homemade split pea soup, various cheeses, and biscuits. Glad I have one more left.
