Deep purple, this is huge on the nose. Violet extract, licorice whip, sage, BBQ meat, candied bacon, jerky, mocha, all lined next to roasted black berry and blueberry, even allow for liquor. Intense palate, penetrating density and incredibly long. Palate is all purple and distilled fruit, sage, chaparral, candied olive, sweet tobacco, spicecake, wraps up with talcum and eucalyptus. Notes from 9.7.18

Mixed ripe black cherry and currant with some edges of purple fruit, quite rich and coating. Backed by very mineral notes of iron, chaparral, bay, leather and savory meat. The palate has considerable flesh to it, muscular with some roundness in shape to finesse it out. Somewhere between Tychson and Cariad in concentration. Again lovey terroir notes of chaparral/manzanita, bay, hung beef, leather, cigar box and espresso. The alcohol is present here, on the finish. Notes from 9.7.18

Very bold, oaky finish. Sugary, but nothing over the top.
