nose - cocoa. per brian cumin. per cindy licorice. i get a strong fennel smell. some wondered if it was 'off' but not me. mouth - hints of dark fruits but mostly closed down in my opinion, ubertannic, cocoa. several people in the group picked it as their favorite but again, not me. but for sure an interesting wine with a most interesting nose.
nose - cocoa, fig, and with time perhaps slowly opening mouth - dark fruit, very rich, fig, chocolate, decadent & almost a desert in its own right. more or less closed and not really ready to drink in my humble opinion. clove and sambuca on the finish. bonus points for potential 90+.

nose - prune, grape
mouth - juicy lively red fruit with good acidity and still serious tannins. exquisite balance. drinking great.
