Really like this last fall, but this bottle was awful. Disjointed, stewed and very hot. One more left hopefully its more like the first than the second.

After crumbled cork this started out slightly musty, but that blew away quickly (no decant). Got more expansive and rounded out as we drank the bottle. Beautiful aromas of spicy fruit and tea. Smooth on the palate with freshness but no noticeable tannic grip. Very pretty.

Liked this a lot. Lots of primary dark fruit, mixed with some tobacco/smokiness and a little spice. Tannins were there but not overpowering. Nice long finish.
