Dark, inky garnet with on the nose sweet spices, ripe blackberries, plums and cigar tobacco. Full-bodied and with perceived, controlled sweetness with on the palate very ripe blackberries, plums, Mediterranean herbs, tar, nutmeg, chocolate covered cherries and sweet tobacco rising with fine acidity and integrating, nearly sweet tannins on the long finish. Very new world and rich wine. 15% Abv.

This wine may be a blueberry bonnet, but it is clear date bomb that is uncontrolled, with blueberry, too heavy a date nose, clove, cinnamon, licorice, and nice animal notes. The mouth is big and aggressive, with black and blue fruit, spicy and round with great tannin, nice acid, structure, layered with blackberry, and currant. The finish is long and super spicy with sweet cedar, chocolate, nice boysenberry, and date marmalade.

Very fruity, with red and black fruits on the nose and palate. Mature and balanced, but still integrating. A very enjoyable wine

This wine blew me away with how good it was. Have had it before but it seems to really be peaking high right now.
