Plump blackberry, incense, strong vanilla and wood notes. Crazy that its still showing something given its age. Peppery finish. Not complex, but a nice finish.

Very dark aromas of blackberry and even a little chai tea. Full bodied and inky mouthfeel. Very true and intense blackberry flavor. All most too big. Tannins almost all the way resolved. New world all the way.

Surprisingly good drink. Drank cool, with no food, and was smooth, not overly fruity, and nicely balanced blend.
