Wow. Wasn't expecting this. Quite rich, a tad spicy, nicely balanced. I only bought one bottle, but if I had another one, I'd probably drink within the next 24 months. Another year won't hurt this one, and may help. I'm now looking forward to trying the '04 Amantis.

Smells dusty and woodsy with strong blackberries and spice (cloves?), like a fall mulled wine. Flavors are rich to match with a long finish. Amazingly fruit forward with black cherry and a tanginess that makes it a good match for food.

A little bicycle tire on the nose, with some lemon pledge and brine. But in a good way. Light mouthfeel, but a surprising intensity of citrus/tart orange liqueur followed with licorice and a lingering peppery finish. Good QPR. I'd have this again, matched with richer fare. B+.
