Deep, murky rust color, very orange-brown. Rich, creamy nose, with cedar, black licorice, vanilla, and pineapple. Smooth palate shows plum, raisin, and more wood character on late palate than previous bottles. Mature dark fruit has a sour touch on the finish.

Second bottle, this was just as good. Presented like a restrained Amarone. Persistent flavors of dark fruit, highlighted by black tea and herbal notes. Very nice.

Red fruit, slight spice, cherry, nice finish. Slight herbal quality/ slight anise. Well integrated.
