Woody notes of dark fruit, figs, tar, minerals, and spices galore. So bright and smooth, mid-to-full bodied, nicely balanced, the tasty sweetness held in check by very good acidity. Sandalwood on the long finish. Nice.

Deep dark reddish-violet in color. Fragrant & attractive nose of dark fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & dried figs with overtones of spice, floral & earthy notes, minerals, dark chocolate, spices, tar, herbs & a touch of vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, very ripe fruit flavors of blackberries, cherries, figs & raisins with spices, bittersweet cocoa, herbs & minerals. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but may benefit from another year or two of further aging.

Med dense with a great red hue. Complexed nose. Dense black fruit, BBQ meat, cassis & herb. It's heavy and lacks freshness. The spirit is neutral. Palate is very sweet and seems heavy lacking any freshness. Powerful although slightly coarse.

Very nicely fruited and balanced. Had on two occasions. Fresh, elegant, with dark fruits and plums
