Tawny purple color, with a great nose. Notes of plums, herbs, earth and pepper. Great fruit and overall impact in the mouth. In a great drinking window.

Tawny reddish color, translucent. Fruity nose, a little heat. Rich fruit in the mouth. Nice balance but the alcohol comes through in the finish.

At proper temp (just below room) and with 5-10m decant, this was incredible.

Popped, poured, and no regrets. This is a jam monster through and through. Thick aromatics of candied cherries and dried herbs. Flavors of preserved red/black fruits, smoked beef jerky, Worcestershire sauce, and nuts. Elegant acid and almost nonexistent tannins. Drink up!
