Still a dense, opaque coloring to this one with purplish ruby at the edges. Aromas of black raspberries, plums, tar, violets, lavender, cinnamon, fresh herbs, and chocolate. Medium body, acid, and finish, with black and dark red fruits, licorice, and bitter dark chocolate. Still some tannic grip and I think this could even age some more, but alas it is my last of 2.

Deep ruby color hinting towards purple. Aromas of dark red fruit, lavender, and charcoal. Consistent on the palate, in a fruit driven style, but with balancing acidity and oak spice, and medium body, acid, and finish.

Powerful punch of fruit at the beginning followed by an oaky finish.

Dark, savory, meaty, and intense, with smoky oak accents to the sweet fruit.
