  Decanted for one hour. Nose of blackberry, currant, mocha and forest floor. Black fruit, mocha, spice, forest floor and crushed rock on the palate. Very long, layered finish. Full bodied. Served with reverse seared strip steaks with red wine sauce.

  Nose: Voluminous blueberry, cassis, cigar wrapper and pencil/graphite. As it opened some spice was added and the black fruit grew in depth on the nose. This was unique on the nose, and did not have any overripe tendencies despite the extraction.
  
  Palate: Deepest black berry, cassis and charcoal notes of the group. There is a really nice pencil/graphite and wet rock note in the mid-plalate and just a bit of an herb note coming out. Still has some angular edges and the most vertical structure of the three.
  
  Finish: Give a slightly more robust impression, and strays away from the perfumed and silky notes. Strapping tannin in the back palate and finish still here.
  
  The third BTK wine in our lineup, and this showed extremely well. On the second day the tannin had gotten a bit hard. Still requiring time to integrate and mellow, no rush on this, but will the tannin outlive the fruit?

  15.1% abv. Enjoyed over two days. On day 1 I actually thought maybe the bottle was ruined by poor storage. It was so tight. But this was great on day 2. Sweet nose and sour cherry notes. Polished juicy and mildly puckering fruit. Truly jekyll and Hyde. You need to enjoy over 2 days.
