Again! Phenomenal! Lovely dark dark purple in the glass, still takes about 45 minutes to open up. Deep nose with some sweetness, the cherry is not as strong now, herbs and some alcohol on the nose. The palate dark fruits, think again cherries, some dark berries, and herbs along with smoke and leather. Slightly tart on finish, the length is good, you also get a mildly sweet berry flavor along with tartness! Still hass the potential for many more years to evolve and have the front alcohol to drop down. Had to try another bottle, just in case! Holding the rest for a couple more years before pouring.

Nose: big time blueberry bomb, with a hint of citrus and forest floor. Very little heat on the nose despite the 18%, yes I said 18%, EtOH!) Palate: blueberry from the aroma is definitely there but I also get toasted oak and a hint of tartness Shortish to medium finish w a nice mouthfeel

Nose: big blueberry, something a little musty, almost like grass after a day in a plastic bag. Palate: blueberry, some oak, a mix of juicy and tart, medium finish. Not overly complex, but a nice wine. 88 pts.

Holding up really well! Same notes as before, going to hold off drinking anymore, think these will cellar well for a few more years!
