Crimsony purple. Raspberry, sweet barnyard, warm spice, and a whiff of smoke on the nose. Medium bodied, tart blueberries and blackberries, a touch of green, smooth, well integrated tannins, good acid, and a medium + finish. Over delivers for the price.

Barnard animal aromas and spices dominate the nose. Charcoal and graphite secondary aromas with caraway seed, mulberry and boysenberry jam. Very nice nose, powerful presentation. Round on the palate, dark chocolate, spicy balck fruits; smokey. very nice.

Mixed on this one. For me it had no nose, and only alcohol. Some thought it was the whole package.

Jammy dark fruits; little earth and charcoal with some spice.
