  August 22, 2007 - I have to echo the WS review: This is wonderful stuff. This is my third bottle in as many weeks and they have been consistently excellent.
  
  My nose is a bit compromised by allergies, but I get blue/black fruits. On the palate there is sweet blueberry/wild blackberry fruit (two tasters also got dried orange peel) and a peppery finish (black pepper) with mocha notes. Great, round, mouth feel and just the right level of sweetness. Plenty of fruit (the blueberry returns with some beautiful strawberry-raspberry top notes) rides on a blanket of mostly resolved tannins on a med-long finish.
