Dark with some bricking on the rim. Spice, cedar, dark cherries. Lot of life left with tannins that were pretty soft. Good acid. Don't be afraid to keep a few more years in the cellar.

Dark brick with amber edge. Nose initially with hints of smoke, then an earthiness, leather and wood. Nice full rich palate with nice balance..Still some fruit. Tannins soft. Lengthy finish. A very nice drinking experience.

Nellans holiday tasting Brick red; big nose of sandalwood/oak shavings, play dough/crayola but pleasant- not chemical; seamless progression to flavors of dried cherries/red currants, tanned leather, subtle earthiness; very long finish mostly of soft wood, dry dusty tannins
