Inky deep purple in color with a nose of blackberries, black plums, peppered meat, and a hint of lavender. Full-bodied with good fruit up front with firm acidity and great balance. The finish lingers nicely.

Very rich, ripe, sweet fruit. A little bit of bacon on the nose. Needs the wiry, dry tannins that come around on the mid palate and balance out the finish. Nice lingering blueberry-beef jerky thing.

Dark purple with a magenta rim. Staining color. Opens up with several hours of air. Smoked meat, blueberry, and sea breeze. Bold, bruding dark fruit. Espresso, and mocha too. Savory finish with chewy tannins. Has big time scores, but feels like it is closed at this time. Hmm... perhaps hold for 5+ years.
