Opened 30 min; light ruby red;; black plums and cherry nose;still fruity but more savory on the palate, cardamom, light allspice, maybe a touch of licorice on the finish??; full bodied but not assertive, smooth long finish; can't imagine it getting any better. I miss them.........

opened 30 minutes: Dark ruby red; initial nose of coconut, followed by strong black berry and other berry notes; first tasting strongly of Macadamia nuts( maybe the coconuts of the first aroma?); full bodied, fills the mouth and palate very smoothly;alc shows up as a lingering warmth in the mouth- like after eating peppers but not a hotness;finish is long, blending into dark chocolate(semi sweet). Would be perfect with a BBQ Tri tip

Medium Garnet; light fruity{ mostly berry) nose; still lots of tannin but starting to mellow, nice finish; good for 5-10 yrs
