Amazing black deep red. A bit closed, seemingly waiting for the serpent to appear.
Fields of eucalyptus, forest trees, black gold and brooding thoughtfulness.

Amazing red black color, light on its feet but structured and powerful. Fresh cut flowers, blackberry compote, seemless and pondering

Black as night color. Thick and swampy. Unbelievable depths of midnight creatures. Peppermint candy, cocoa, bay leaf, blackberry fermented, deep rose buds. Rest until 2025 or maybe a lot more. It’s a crazy trail down this opium dream.

Dark brooding bomb of blackberry liquor, bay leaves, tobacco, forest floor. Round and full with great length Utah missing that wow quality. Maybe it will be better later.

Black red color. Bright forward fruit. BlackBerry, pen ink, chocolate, graphite. Tight tan is, but round feel. Dusty. Excellent with 30 sec finish.

Was better a year ago. Seems somewhat muted now. But still, lots of fruit, blackberry, walnut, dust. Round mouth feel. Very good, hoping it will open up in a few

Blackish blue, blackberry pie, blueberry liquor, granite, clean river rocks. Supple yet firm tannins give way to a full bodied experience. Could use a couple more years. But kick ass now!

Dark colored gem. Aromasof plums, violets and cherry. Gripping tannins that yield blackberry pie, bing cherrys, cedar and spice.
Needs sometime for sure, but tastes like you thought it would

Ripe as can be. Red and black pure fruit
Silky tannin with the remote graphite layer in the background. Will be great in 2 years

Dark purple red in color has a thick look in the glass. Notes of black cherry, cassis, mint, vanilla, dark chocolate and cinnamon. Velvety mouth feel, taste the same as nose with evergreen and plum added in. Tennis are strong. I think this might last a long time and be spectacular in a few years. Check back 2016

Deep black red A little broody with forest, chassis, tobacco and earth. The taste makes up for the lack of aroma with blackberry cobbler, black cherry and great full mouth feel. Very good finish with just a touch of mouth watering acid

First day after 1 hr. Didn't like it much, seemed acidic and short tart finish, peppery. Next day after 24hrs in fridge. Great aromas of cloves, Christmas spice, and black cherry. Still a little orangey but much better making me think this needs cellaring?
