Nearly black core with some slight brick red around the rim. The nose has some hints of oak & dark fruit. Fuller bodied with blackberry, red currant & tobacco. Tannic, but on the lower side of acidity. Some licorice/ anise swirls around the mid palate & finish. Unremarkable, but pleasant.

Floral in the form of violets, sweet cigar tobacco, beets and deep aromatics. Smoky, stone fruits, beetroot and warm blackberry pie flavors with gripping tannins. Silky in texture with an effortlessly lengthy finish. Big, but polished. This was even better on day 2 with a softer mouth feel like satin. Great QPR under $30. Drink now-2018
