A medium deep purple look. Syrupy.
High intense of tropical fruits and blackberry, strawberry and a hint of leather.
Full body. Dry. Medium acidity. Medium high tannin. Well balanced and long lasting. Finish with tannin and fruity taste.
Quite nice.

Holy Smokes: gorgeous stuff here: exquisite & polished w/complex evolving nose of blackberry, boysenberry and currants, cassis, vanilla, sweet tobacco, cedar, stewed raspberry, white pepper, spice, savory note and so on. For $20 this over-delivers in a massive way. Supple tannins and seamless though finish. The only giveaway this is not some $50-80 hi end bottle is modest length on finish, but this guy is going back for a case as I believe this has many years ahead.
