Plenty of cherry, cherry licorice, some eucalyptus, and tobacco leaf. This developed quite a bit. Was pretty flabby and very fruit forward upon opening, but that changed quickly over the course of an hour. Juicy, but a drier mouthfeel at the same time. Just enough spice to make it interesting. Medium plus finish. Very good but, for the price, I'd go with a Scott Harvey Zin over this every time. 88 pts.

Still drinking wonderfully. Very jammy, nicely balanced with a long finish.

Probably held this one too long. Still had some fruit and was just a ho-hum wine.
