  From a magnum and in this format has significant time left with proper cellaring but probably no further upside to additional cellaring - drink or hold. Recommend. Very well integrated, soft mouth feel, dark purple, no bricking noted, relatively short aftertaste. Nose of dark plum, lilac and black pepper. Flavors of plum, blueberry, allspice and tar developing on the late palate.

  Beautiful maroon color.
  Aromas of ultra ripe fruit, rubber, spice.
  Mouth filling and delicious, but has a rather short finish.
  Spicy and juicy and easy to drink. Not likely to improve, probably held too long.

  Nose: Very similar to notes on my first bottle (notes on 5/9/14) w/ the assorted spices, moss and that unique limey quality that one often sees in wines from Rosella's vineyard. Tar is also present. Palate: Very similar to the first bottle with that limey quality present but this bottle is a bit more integrated. Always great when the last bottle is the best. 93+ points.

  Similar to notes on 5/9/14 but softer. I preferred the last bottle but this is still solid.
