Lots of spice on the nose, then red fruit, cedar, baking spices, supportive tannins, and a long finish. Smooth and complex, there were no signs of age beyond its current full maturity. Better than last time and excellent from the get-go.

Starting on day 2, this rounded into a nice, red-fruited, dusty cinnamon infused wine, with soft dry tannins, decent complexity, and a long cherry finish. I like where this is now; hope it stays there for a while.

Similar to last time, except it seemed somewhat "flatter". It took until Day 3 to really open up. Good flavors overall, with a nice finish, but not much depth.

This is evolving every bit as nicely as one would hope and expect. Great fruit, great complexity, nice ten year old personality.
