Super dark crimson with wide purple edges. Dried leather, black currant, vanilla cake, and some fine florals all present on the nose. Can you beat mountain fruit? It’s just so damn good and the fruit and soil flavors here elevates this a few notches. Tastes of sweet tobacco, damp forest floor, bright blueberries, and oak dominate. The black currant, cherries, and coffee notes come later after it opens up. The finish is long and silky with plenty of spice. Well structured with beautiful soft tannins, this leaves a lasting impression.

Good price but it tasted green to me. Too tart for a 10 year old bottle. Even after letting it sit overnight in a decanter it had a bitter green taste
