Simply labeled bottle from Lone Star Beverage. Tulip back at the Air BnB. Inky, but not quite black with ruby highlights. Acidic, super dark berry, acai-ish, gingersnap, very murky, deep & rich sweet berry scent. Deep, rich in fruit but low middling acid & low tartness. Coating, mellow but fresh ginger juice, intense plummy flavor. Middle high tannins, some oxidation, popsicle finish. Boozy, hearty, fruity, big sipper. Good, just needed more complexity.
