    Blackberry and pressed violet aromas lead the nose of this bottling, while charred beef, lava rock and black soil scents provide depth. A roasted game flavor dominates the palate, spiced with black pepper and soy sauce and bolstered by a concentrated base of black fruit.

    A bit rustic, with firm tannins and sweet currant and chocolate flavors side by side with greener, minty ones. Acidity is low, making the mouthfeel soft. Not going anywhere.
