  Rummaging in our Eurocave I ran across this goodie. After decanting it was excellent. Smoke and black raspberries on the nose. Palate of spice, milk chocolate, and more raspberries. A long, delicious finish with well-structured, silky tannins. If you own a bottle or two, this may be the time to pop the cork.
  
  They’re selling the 2015 vintage right now for $42. Pick up half a case if you have the patience. Dan and Bob know their stuff.
  
  Via Tasting Note Assistant:
  
  The wine looks violet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like smokey bacon and blackberry.
  It tastes like blackberry, black pepper and chocolate. The body is full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  I still like it. Dark berries and chocolate dominate the experience. No more smoke. But still a McReynolds mild sweet tobacco and perhaps a coffee note. Still a quite pleasurable finish.

  Dark fruits, spice notes, slight tobacco and smoke. Lingering pleasurable finish.

  Winery tasting. Estate grown grapes, aged in French oak barrels. Slightly fuller and creamier than the regular bottling. Dark berries, spice, with some vanilla wafer. Great finish.
