Purple and opaque with a crimson rim. Long legs. More heat on the nose than I expected given the age. Herbs, green peppers, dark chocolate, tobacco and cinnamon on the nose. Black and blue fruit on the palate with excellent balance, acidity (that surprised me) and mouthfeel. Blue fruit finish. 5+13+16+8=92

Deep, packed fruit. Black & blue notes, but lively acid balance. Good the first night, but just as good or better 4 days later.

Still young with strong tannins but very nice fruit. Black cherry and plum flavors. Will be even better on a couple years.
