Inky purple-red in color. Cool mint, black currant and herbal-floral notes in nose. Briar, black currant, tangerine skin and cherry-plum flavors in mouth. Tight initially with seed bitterness throughout, and fine-grained astringency at finish. A bit light on acidity, perhaps

Smooth and delicious. Dark and flavorful, well balanced overall. Lots of grit at the end of the bottle. Worked well with biscuits and sausage southern meal.

Well structured and integrated. Firm acidity and some herbaceousness - too young though. Needs 3 more years.
