  WOW! This is quite a wine! Decanted for almost 8 hours it still kept developing revealing in the glass layers after layers of complexity. Dark impenetrable purple-black, with on the nose wild blueberries, black currants, blackberries, cloves, cinnamon, pepper as well as freshly hand-rolled cigars. Full-bodied and deeply extracted with on the palate blue and blackberries, ripe cassis, oriental spices, pipe tobacco, black pepper and dark chocolate, with bracing acidity and big, ripe tannins drying the mouth on a long and lush finish. By far the best and most complex Petite Sirah I've had to date. 14.5% Abv. 93+

  The nose on this purple colored wine is hopping with mad blackberry, freshly crushed blueberry, freshly made raspberry tea, and rich spices. The mouth of this full bodied wine is finally coming out after 24 hours! The wine was not ready to play at the tasting - when we opened it, but now 24 hours later it is really shining well.
  
  The mouth on this full bodied wine is rich and layered with black cherry, ripe plum, blueberry, boysenberry, and layers upon layers of intense searing tannin, concentrated and extracted! This is crazy wine with root beer commanding the mid palate, searing acid, lovely spices, and sweet cedar. The finish is long and bright with tart blueberry, searing tannin, chocolate, vanilla, watermelon, and lovely sweet spices - BRAVO!!! With even more air, 2 days later, the extraction now commands the palate and the sweet fruit, blue and black are balancing with still searing tannins and great sweet chocolate on the long finish - WOW!!!
