13.5% - Clear, med ruby (with a hint of black) / clean, med intensity - black cherry, bramble fruit, liquorice, smoky, ripe fruit, some orange peel as it opens up / dry, med tart acidity, med+ body, smooth tannin, med+ intensity and med+ length. Some heat at first, but it went away very quickly. Typical very ripe 09 from the Willamette, but with enough refreshing acidity. On day 2, some spicy notes came out - nutmeg, pepper.
