Softly polished subtle notes of summer berry bushes, firecracker smoke, faint hints of prunes, pine bark, and candy cane in the bouquet. Prune juice, tart cherry, vanilla extract with strong chalky tannins puckering the tongue.... stronger blackberry and softer tannins emerge after a full 24 hours (!) in the decanter. Always a fun little adventure to smell and taste this one.

1 person found it helpfulDec 25th, 2020Notes of black cherry, hazelnut, umami/meats with hints of syrup and saline on the nose. Viscous umami heavy red with well polished but tight tannins; dark berries and kirsch with notes of cinnamon and cumin on the palate and soft notes of black pepper on the finish. Very nice, drink alone or with a good steak
