Ruby red with slightly rusty rim. Medium intensity on the nose with loads of mushrooms, forest floor, black cherry cola and blackberry. Medium plus acidity keeps it fresh. Medium tannins and alcohol. Black cherry cola and blackberry on the palate with a hint of teen pepper. Long finish. Drink now (2017).

Big boy ladies and gentlemen, BIG! Full expressive nose, BBQ meats, charcoal and mesquite smoke! Tight full mouthfeel, holiday fruit/rum cake, smoked apple, tamed charcoal, well framed with a backbone of tobacco and tar. Exotic spice, slight iron and smoke that sails on and on. Very harmonious and complex. Drink now or give this another 7-10 years.
