Brownish-purple with lots of long legs. Hot on opening but fruit comes out after a little bit. Mostly notes of black cherry, cherry cola, and white pepper. Q87/D87

No detailed notes. Quite enjoyable. Good acid and a nice toasty/spicy finish. Better with food.

This definitely worked better with meat than on its own. Paired quite nicely with beef pasties.

Very spicy and meaty. I think would be great with steak. But alas, I drank it as "sipping" wine.
