May 30, 2014 - Tasty, good with wood grilled steak. No tannin. Medium finish. A little over the hill Good entry and fruit. Very smooth.

February 24, 2013 - Deep garnet. None of the funk of the last bottle. Cork was fairly dry but able to be removed (I have a humidity and Temp controlled cellar so I believe it is the cork used-may explain the wide range of opinions of this) This nose had the sweetness smelled in the HSS and anise and tobacco. Wonderful. Taste was all licorice with some hint of dried herbs. Beautiful
