A little surprised at how well this is holding up - still jammy with a touch of sweetness and a kick of brambly spice that carries from the mid-palate through the finish.

Just a touch of brown showing through the ruby during the pour. Sticky strawberry jam, cedar, and spice nose. Medium bodied, dark chocolate cherries, pepper, cloves, grainy tannins, and a sweet medium length finish. Seems to be reducing over time, but still quite good.

Last bottle. Probably would have been good for at least a couple more months, but oh well ... ;-) Still getting that apple note I referred to a while back. And to the very end it's done a fine job of hiding its heat.

Still jam time! Almost too hot even now. Good buy at the time, make sure you have big flavors to offset this!

Nice though not as much of a fruit bomb as a few years ago.
