Medium to deep ruby red. Dirty attack on the nose with some earthiness, dusty, a touch vegetal, dried cherries, truffles and herbal. A little dark spices. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Savory on the palate, a little bit of dark berries, earthy, and a little green. Very dry with a medium plus finish. Drink till 2023.
Favorite Maryland Estate.

Nov 10th, 2017Last red from Black Ankle. Ruby red with a purplish hue. Nose had some savory notes and a little stinky. Undertones of greenery and slightly vegetal. Attack was coated with dark fruits and a savory backbone. A little bit of vegetal notes too. Moderate tannins (6/10) with a moderate body. Very complex, rounded and enjoyable. Long and lingering finish. Very hard to decide which of their reds are the best. Drink till 2024.
