Deep purple/red/maroon color. Nose is peppery with some cigar leaf/ash/tobacco. Little bit of heat. Medium body, nice and round from the Verdot, med+ acid. Peppercorn, bell pepper, wild berry, thistle. Umami mushroom. Tar. Chalky leads to slate with a long, dry, clean finish. Had this while watching Goodfellas at Skyline drive-in in Greenpoint (not driving) with some spicy cayenne popcorn. Fun one!
