PnP from the cellar. Surprised at the dark redness in the glass, no hint of brick or brown. The nose seemed flat, so curious how this would play out… On the front of the palate it’s just sweet with no complexity, and on the mid palate the tiniest hint of tannins gives it some structure. A bit of sweetness on the back of the palate and that’s it. Darn - I believe this one sat for too long.
UPDATE: tried again today and it became a fig-flavored juice bomb.

Tasted a little "dark" for me. Perhaps it was the nutmeg and/or cocoa. I typically prefer the berry flavors. It was delicious and rich.

Tastes a touch oxyidized, but not in a terrible way. Big and full and raisny on the palate. And also funky and earthy.
