89 Points

Saturday, August 9, 2008 - Aerate decant and pour, noting the tip of the cork was caked with sediment and some sediment in bottle. Darker than I expected -- very dark red. Both spouse and friend we drank this with commented that they really liked it. Nose was distinct and mature, with blackberry, smoke, leather, bramble, and pepper. Full bodied on the palate, with largely intact fruit of blackberry and marionberry, meat, tar, and pepper. Lots of extract and soft chewy tannins in a medium finish of 20-25 sec. Got this on an end of bin special for about 17, which was very worth it. An excellent accompaniment to NC baby back ribs from Corolla. Next time we'll do Pigman's, the one that keeps winning the "Best Of" award every year.
