A deeply murky reddish brown pours to the glass and obscures light almost completely. A two and a half finger head is a light mocha color and really sticks around.
Overwhelming. There's a ton of "barnyard" here and it's really hard to get past. There's a strong vinous taste following this with almost no sweetness present. This scent is decent but it's a bit too much.
Lots of wine like tartness up front followed extremely quickly by a strong dirt and hay flavor. The wild here is overwhelming all the other flavors. I still pick up some dark fruit flavors on the end but there's no sign of raspberries here and I'm let down.
Thick and sticking.
A bit too strong on the wild notes and too hodgepodge for me to really enjoy. She's a trainwreck.

Unknown vintage; drank 2/20/15 @ the Yarchives.
Dark purple appearance.
Tan head; nice lace.
Raspberry jam & a hint of smoke in the nose.
Medium thick mouthfeel.
Tart raspberry flavor up front; smoke & raspberry jam on the finish. Some red wine booziness emerged as this warmed.
Complex & enjoyable, if a touch too tart for me.
