This is getting better and better, mellow vegetal notes on the nose and palliate smooth tannins in the mouth needs decanting for about an hour, is a little harsh off the pour but opens nicely. Starts to fall apart after about five hours. so drink up and enjoy.

Dark red color with full body. Leather, smoke, dirt, and fruit aromas with blackberry, smoke, and black cherry flavors. Lingering peppery finish. Somewhat reminiscent of a syrah. Very good by itself and with food.
