  October 28, 2015 - Opaque purple going to cranberry at the rim, medium viscosity. Initial floral aromas quickly give way to blackberry, slight menthol. On the palate leads with blueberry/blackberry, then earth and mocha emerge with a nice acidity in mid-palate, and ending with cigar box/tar flavors. Surprisingly rustic, with grippy tannins and maybe a hint oxidative, but nicely balancing the fruit against the acid. I'd say the tannins might soften over time, but given the oxidative quality probably better to drink now than hold. Rustic and masculine presentation calling out for grilled meat.
