Ruby, brick and persimmon hues. The aroma is potpourri like, sweet spices with figs and plums, pan-grille. Med-full body, prunes, and fig, the fruit profile is port-ish. The tannins are integrated with tobacco leaf and anise. Spicy acidity frames this wine nicely. I purchased this wine for $50 in a drugstore on the Oregon Coast, so the wine was not stored perfectly. That being said, it held together but the structure was a little... rickety?

Dark ruby color. Dusty nose with plummy fruit and savory herbs. Palette is continues with dark plum fruits and minerals and blocky tannins. Medium-bodied wine the will continue to improve for 10 years I would guess.

Bright ruby-Orange color. Cranberry, pan-grille black licorice, cigar box, stewed plums, laced with potpourri. Black fruits with plum, tobacco leaf, spiced elixir element. Finiishes with some nice tart fruity acids and medium tannins, satisfying wine. Great five year upside.
