Friday, February 1, 2013 - I have to concede disappointment on this one. Vibrant and fresh out of the bottle, with an enticing, varied nose of herbs, rasberry with vanilla, forest floor and pepper. The taste could not match that lead-in. Overly sweet dark cherry and plum flavors dominate the front palate, with a touch of allspice, but there is too much oak and no real complexity. Medium finish with no heat. Overbearingly sweet, almost bordering on port.
