Structure for days. Huge nose of blackberry, oak, and spice. Great grip on the tannins in the mouth of spicy oak, bramble, lead, and blue fruits. Sublime.

Underripe cherries, tar, vanilla, clove. Probably could've benefited from either more time in the bottle or a longer decanting session. Tannins and acid were balanced
