  4th of six. 15% alcohol, a little above my usual playing weight. Big fruit, a little lacking in acidity. Certainly round. Nice finish, but not my cup of tea.

  Really shining tonite on PNP. Big fruit, blackberries, raspberries.
  
  Oak is integrated. I ve had several bottles and they seem to be holding together. I have had a dud that just didnt seem to open a year ago.

  1 hour decant to dark purple in glass. Aromas of blackberry, currants, and oak with a little alcohol burn. Palate of blackberry, baking spice, currants, and a slight vanilla with fine-grained and almost dusty tannins. A medium, crisp acidity cleared to a long dark berry and baking spice finish. The wine has decent structure and can probably take a couple years to pick up some more nuance, but not one I would keep much past that. Overall, good bottle.

  Dark opaque ruby/garnet. Very, very thick glass staining viscous legs. Nose has lots of blackberries, woody oak, deep jammy cassis, and slight green menthol burn from high alcohol. Palate has dark ripe fruit, not quite stewed but slightly overripe blackberries, some herbal rosemary and savory thyme, chewy tobacco with a strong oaky backbone. It's a little low in acidity so it's still somewhat on the flabby side of things. Finishes medium+ with herbal and some medicinal notes. Not too tannic, could even be higher in my opinion.
