Nose: very unique smell of Topps Baseball Trading card gum and a faint medicinal scent towards the end. Definitely smelled of 10+ year aged wine although it was ony 6 years old.
Taste: subdued fruit, low in tannins, tobacco like towards the end. Overall, the taste didn't live up to what the nose promised. Nevertheless, a very interesting wine.

Color: medium ruby color. Nose: Could definitely smell the lees (spent yeast at the bottom of the fermentation tank). Some cherry smell as well. Taste: dried cherries, average tannins. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Finish: short to average with a bit of almond at the end.
