This was a great find as it exhibited fine black and red fruit with dark earth tones.

First off the bottle is hefty thick glass. So it feels heavy. Dark ruby with purple hues. Beautiful color. Toasty spices with dried berries on the aroma. I get a little burnt cocoa when it opens up. Palette is medium tannins with dense berry fruit. A touch of char. Long lingering warm spice finish. Would drink again
