  January 25, 2020 - Deep brick color. A nose of dried fruit and roses. Flavors of clove, plum, mushroom, sassafras, dark cherry, and forest floor. This is a lovely wine just beginning to pass the peak of its age. The tannins are sweet and mellow. Very balanced. Still has another 5+ years ahead of it. Needs an hour of aeration to come together. Decant, for there is a lot of sediment.

  December 6, 2017 - Full body. Red brick/deep purple color. Nose of blackberries and raspberries. Dark fruit predominate the palate with secondary flavors of tobacco, mushroom, and cinnamon. Really lovely stuff. The fruit is still very much present and the tannic structure, although not at all harsh, is still prominent. This has at least another 5+ year in its current peak drinking window. Decant as there is a fair amount of sediment. 14%abv.
