Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately. Followed over an hour.
Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of soapstone, lavender, black pepper, Kirsch, black berries and a hint of leather. Flavors of black raspberries, black cherries, plums and boysenberries. Medium to slightly tart acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink over the short the medium term. I'd lean more toward now. Seems to be firing on all cylinders right now.

Drank with friends and paired with a South African Potjiekos dish comprised of lamb shank, root veggies, Guinness, cloves, curry and other spices. All was good.

Possibly the least exciting 4-barrel I've ever tasted.
Nothing wrong... but nothing WOW.
It still doesn't suck.

Much better after a night under vacuum. Raspberry jam nose; quite hot with berry, plum, and cola flavors. A bit more time?
