The color was surprisingly dark. This was bought on release and stored well for its entire life so its color was surprising. It was almost the color of Rutherglen Tawny. The nose is fresh. Like ripe mangos mixed with ripe peaches and stewed plums. On the palate the wine is big. Maybe could use a touch more acid, but overall very good.
