Dark garnet color with some brown highlights and slightly orange rim. Aromas of dried red fruit, forest floor, leather and a touch of menthol. Flavors of dried plum and black cherry fruit, dark chocolate, black licorice, beef jerky and roasted nuts. Plentiful baking spice notes on the long and grippy finish. Quite dense with firm tannins. Full bodied and well layered. Outstanding intensity and complexity. Still quite powerful but aging nicely. Cheers to Keith S!

Color of clear burgundy, bubbly with copper tone on the rim. Nose of strength of alcohol, light cherry jam, some dried strawberry, a bit peppery, a bit leather, and a bit tobacco leaves. Nose is not too impressive. Taste shows ample acidity, still intense tannins, sour cherry, black pepper, just a bit sweet and some zest note. Aftertaste of some more ripe grapes and tinkling bitter note on the tongue. Not my type of wine.
