Red. Wild aromatics of herb, anise, and red fruit. Light to medium weight but excellent intensity. Spice, thyme, licorice, and dark red fruits. Delicious and fun.
Magnum. Deep ruby. Some VA and pepper on the nose. Very rich, mouth coating feel with sweet black/red fruit, black pepper, and camphor. Not quite as exuberant as several years ago, when I found the depth and strength of the fruit even more attractive.

As with each bottle that preceded this one, yeasty, dry, and nicely textural.

1994 Bonny Doon Vineyard Muscat Canelli Vin de Glacière
USA, California
Half bottle. Orange/amber color. Syrupy, rather simple flavors of orange and burnt sugar. Not cloying but not that lively either. An oddity.
