Color: Dark, almost opaque violet core, with purple edges.
Nose: Huge tones of earthier, black fruit and toast, followed by nice anise and brambly garden herbs, followed by a bit of leather.
Palate: Also massive, this needs plenty of time and air to fully open. Featuring a massive palate, with smooth, but definitely still gripping mouthfeel and tannins, this also has fantastic food-pairing acidity. All of that deep and dark fruit, earth, toast, and leather are also here in the alternating fruity, bright, dark, and savory palate. Quite good, and lay it down: KeeperWK, QPRWK.

Rating: 4
Very deep purple color, with an earthy fruity aroma. Give this wine time to breathe. A smooth flavor that is slightly spicy with an even finish.
