On first opening, bouquet of black cherry and blackberries, Big Red cinnamon gum, bell pepper, and smoky bowling alley; palate of black cherry and plum, char, and black tea with a medium-short finish. On the second day the candy and bell pepper smells taper, bowling alley becomes more of a whiff of pipe smoke, blackberry bramble emerges with spent firecrackers; on the palate the black pepper spice has some herbs de provence, black tea tannins are rounder and the cherry flavor more tart, a fuller body on the finish with notes of char, meat fats, and pepperoni spices. Was gonna go with 89 but it’s impressive once you decant for a day. — 4 years ago

Fun, bright, acid bomb, gets tarter as it opens. Unfiltered, but clean-ish funk! — 2 years ago

Clear, medium ruby in color with a garnet rim; on the nose it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of green peppercorns, graphite, and black cherries; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, full body, high alcohol, and pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, dried figs, and black currants with a medium finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. It improves with time in the glass. — 4 months ago
