Bottle thanks to Jeff. Pours a cloudy purple with no head. The aroma is strong white chocolate, berry, honey. Thin mouth, jammy, honey, berries, white chocolate, really enjoyed this one.

Bottle. Inky merlot body. Legs. Huge jammy aromas blueberry, boysenberry, raspberry, vanilla, white chocolate. Damn sweet but great tannin and acid balance. Huge raspberry, vanilla and chocolate. Syrupy with some heat and good structure. Well made and deliciously in your face.

Bottle share courtesy of Dak, thanks! It pours with a rug staining deep dark rosy red to purple body that leaves behind thick glass staining legginess. The aroma hits with both slick sugary honey goodness and nectar like berry notes where there is a modest degree of sweet smooth sugary smelling vanilla off in the background. This smells great. The taste has a wonderful play between rich nectar like fresh sweet berry juice thickened by honey and then flowing into a smooth modest sweet kind of white chocolate seemingly vanilla note. This is well crafted and delivers a wonderful rich mix of honey, berry notes and vanilla. Love this, wow! This is right up there with some of the best I’ve been lucky enough to try. I had a splash of Schramm’s Statement to I can compare and to my surprise this was a little deeper richer and somehow embraced the fruit more. This is not Heart of Darkness good, but dang.
