Bottle drunk 10/1/23. Clear weird purple color. Rich and juicy but with proper balancing acidity. Berries, hints of vanilla and light oak. Mellow but still with some bright fruit. Soft, syrupy, sweet, not too much so, with balancing acidity, pepper and vanilla acidity as well as the fruit. Juicy, fruity. Clean, not boozey, low oak.

Bottle. Deep purple color, purple head. Aroma is deep blueberries, vanilla, intense, luscious, but not overdone. Taste is strong blueberries, tannins, vanilla, toasted nuts indeed, proper tartness for balance. Oily mouthfeel, flat.
