Smell (bottle): licorice, smell (glass): ? Strong alcohol, color: deep garnet/ruby nearly burgundy; first taste (not decanted): very tannic, dry made my tongue raspy. Second sip (not decanted): tasted duhat or black palm fruit. Third taste (decanted): less tannic, smoother like black currant. I like it better decanted though more exciting un decanted. Medium to full bodied. Would work beautifully with a short rib bolognese with tagliatelle pasta or a birria taco dipped in consomé. Tasted great with a nutty savory basque cheese and traditional (not kettle) potato chips.

Earthy on the nose and on your tongue. Dark deep, purple color. Not much on the backend.
