375 ml bottle. Pours a garnet red. Aromas of raspberry jelly, red currants, and subtle sliced apple. Richer, more intense flavors follow same with emphasis on currants, plus additional honey and oak. There is also the additional rosemary/herbal flavors that other folks have noted. More subtle for me but just makes everything a bit more complex. Delicious!

375ml @ Farees'. Appearance: deep purple with no head. Aroma: intense black and red currants with some raspberries notes. Taste: along the same lines but with a bit weird notes to me (related to the rosemary as per gang), very intense. Overall: good.

Reddish-brown. There's a rich raspberry fruit nose, bit of apple. On the palate, there's a rich oxidized sort of note, that brings out a meatiness. Soft, sweet and with some alcohol in there as well. Good stuff, got that dessert sweetness.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany, no head. Aroma boozy, with plenty of raspberries, perfumey spirit, and bizarrely enough, rosemary. Flavour is loaded with syrupy raspberry, rosemary (seriously, a lot of it), and boozy oak. I can't shake the rosemary character, which doesn't ruin this, but it's definitely odd. Treacly, syrupy raspberry character, with lots of heat. Good stuff, but not top-tier stuff.

Poured from the tap. Clear blonde with small fizzy white head. Pear, ginger, juniper. Finds a nice balance, though would prefer it sans juniper.

375 ml bottle. Pours a deep garnet red. Aromas of dark and red berries with a bit of hibiscus. Flavors of baked apples, sugary dark berries, eucalyptus, and ripe red grapes. Wonderful. On par with a dark desert wine but with deeper fruit.
