Very dark purple...almost black. Reserved nose. Palate is a bit like drinking Guinness...loads of charcoal. There are some black fruit characteristics, but not much and what there is is hidden by the overpowering charcoal and bitter tannins on the finish. I tried this over 2 days and didn't see any improvement. Sorry @garyvee

Big fruit, cedar, white pepper. Great structure. Perfect finish.
