Saturday, February 1, 2014 - Nose with sweet dark berries and cooked fruit character - stewed plum and fruitcake - some spice (partly of the glühwein type), some smoke and prnounced animal notes with some dungheap. Medium bodied (-), somewhat alcoholic, dark berries including blackberries, medium- fruit concentration, decent acidity, some spice, some tannin that linger in the aftertaste. 82 p.
Seems to have improved somewhat since I tasted it almost three years ago. I think that some spice notes have taken a bit of the edge off the alcohol, and the slightly edgy tannins have softened somewhat.
