88 / B-
Tasted by Mike Supple - 10 Jan 2008
Thick purple with ruby notes. The bold blackberry and black cherry aromas are surrounded by a nice gamy brown sugar ham quality, followed by spicy white pepper. Red currants and blackberries on the front palate are followed by the brown sugar ham in the middle. Black licorice swarms around the fruit. Medium-full bodied with very ripe tannins and a thick, dark, sweet lingering finish. 14.6% ABV.
