Thursday, November 16, 2006 - very dark color, very rich nose of purple fruit with a tad oak spice and vanilla.
tasted thick and juicy, very full in the mouth, although the flavor seemed to be holding back. Definite note of vanilla and dark fruit.
Had a glass the next day and it was more open and there was more spice and accessible fruit. a glass on the 3rd day was dominated by oak. whoops...
