Wow. Dang. Don't let the color fool you. This wine has a heavier mouthfeel. Nose is dirty black cherry, allspice, herbs. Entry is black cherry, rhubarb, rosemary, olive, red licorice, hint of red and green bell pepper. Full bodied despite the color which was more of a lighter ruby red. Finishes with an intense black cherry, red licorice and cherry cola note that dances on the palate. Delicious. Been saving this one for a while although I really feel like this one could go another 10 to 15 years easily.

Sour cherries and alcohol prominent on the nose. Blackberry, cherries and raspberry explode in your mouth with subtle hints of black pepper. Soft mouth feel with moderate tannins and well integrated acidity allow for a moderate length finish. I suspect that with 5 years more age that the fruit will fall in line and perfect balance achieved.

Sour cherry nose. Red fruits , soft tannins and bracing acidity in the mouth. Modest length finish with sour notes at the end.

Rose petal, peony and cerise nose. Ripe dark cherries, softened tannins and balanced acidity round out this fine wine.

Dark cherry and tobacco and slight manure nose. Beautiful melding of dark cherry fruit, soft tannins and delicate acidity. Lingering fruit finish.
