Darker purple color, notes of blackberry, black cherry, and a slight touch of pepper; in the mouth it is fleshy, a bit rustic with dry tannins, but with a very nice subtle asian spice character, or maybe cumin or cardamom or similar; decent wine, but lacks elegance and complexity. Still fairly youthful in character, this may develop in a year or so.

Fine Vines Fall 2015 Portfolio Tasting (City Winery - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Earthy with maturing red berries. Good for drinking near-term, at its peak now. OK.

Fully in the zone tonight. Soaring perfume on the nose. Nice weight with berries, spice and terrior. Very impressive.
