This was flat out delicious: squid ink, opaque dense looking and tasting w/gobs of black fruit: blackberry, cherry & plum. baked quality to the fruit. Hints of Earth and a minerally Iodine but by & large fruit focused. Infinitely smooth & caressing - went down (dangerously) easy as we had to do a double take at the empty decanter! .2 bump for QPR!

So much potential. Just a little too jammy for my liking.

Inky dark. Aroma of plums and black pepper. Big black pepper plum and dark cherries. A hint of smoke or leather. Then a fast finish.
