Medium ruby red color, moderate nose of funk, peat, forest floor, tobacco, cedar and dill. Wonderful nose. Medium body with crisp acid, medium round tannins and flavorful palate of spice, peat, tobacco, cherry, wood and a touch of bitterness. Long finish. Big acid, nice non-fruit flavors. Complex if a touch of heat, needs to air out.

Deep purplish ruby color. Aromatic blackberry, pepper/spice, floral, menthol and some heat. Big dark fruit. Medium full body, lively acid and high dry tannins. Flavorful blackberry, spice and plum. Hot. Long finish. A bit tart, but big spice. Pretty yummy. Need some time to open up.
