Tasted after 30 minutes of air. Big hit of violets and dark fruits on the nose. Smoked meats. Like walking into a restaurant slow roasting brisket for hours. Round sweet blackberry fruit. Tastes like someone fresh ground some black pepper in the glass. Even though my palate was a bit dead after using plenty of Aardvark sauce and sliced up serrano peppers on my tacos the powerful fruits came through. A hint of cocoa here too. Excellent balance and super complex. Excellent. My best bottle of this yet.
