July 17, 2023 - Bramble and prune nose. Medium to full bodied, dirty cranberries, loads of pepper, black cherries, grainy tannins, smoke, and a medium finish.
Always consistent, always good. -

June 24, 2021 - Picked up at a going out of business sale for $14 and it over delivered. Best on the second day as it seemed to need some air to settle down. Nice balance of fruit and spice with lots of clove and nutmeg. Enjoyable.
