again crumbly cork....but no sign of seepage or heat damage. let open in the bottle over an hour or so....spice, fruit, menthol, more fruit....integrated and a bit changing...but very good.

let breathe many hours 3+ and it changed constantly...cork crumbled, blue cheese mold nose to begin...some bricking...over an hour mold nose disappears, and color deepens. first glass is cough syrup with a bit of spice, disjointed. last glass has cherry core, menthol, is much better...I'll let my last one age a couple of more.

A strong showing against some serious competition. Wonderfully spiced, dried red fruits, purple florals, and a dusting of brown sugar on the nose. It's spicy with a citrus twang on the palate along with concentrated red berries, saturating spice and minerals. The finish is long and saturating to the senses. Berries, berries and more berries.

A complex nose, of waning black fruit and horesaddle and olives. That palate is balanced and it has a medium plus acidity. Rare to have such a black fruit dominant wine witn such a high acidity, interesting.

JB at Fernando's House: purple to black wine. ripe with good tannins. good acidity in the middle. missing something - perhaps a bit muted/muddied fruit. Good but not shining.
