  Blackberry, red cherry, garrigue, new leather, earth, and minerals on the nose. Sweet cherry, blackberry, tart cherry, earth, herbs, a touch of ink, and minerals on the palate. Decent acidity (could use more), moderately grippy tannins, medium finish. Shows some heat. Hmm, this is one of the few times where despite noticeable heat, I can't put it down. It's just very delicious. I'm rating this bottle pretty high despite my better judgement.

  Super intense red fruit - strawberry, raspberry, silky tannins, big acid and fruity finish, 15.5% alcohol is noticeable in the finish.

  Nose of fresh raspberries, sandalwood, freshly cut flowers, and a hint of tangerine. Sweet black cherry and black fruit on the palate with fig pudding, black licorice, and wet stones. Wide tannins cross the tongue to start the finish, followed by dry cherry fruit, leather, dried rosemary, and a final woody note.
