Amarone like nose with that deep dried fruit coming out. A monster on the palate with blackberry and blueberry. Smooth on the finish but a touch of heat does come through.

Very big aromas and flavors of blackberry jam and blueberry pie. Full bodied and juicy. A little bit of smoked meat comes out also. Long finish with sweet tannins.

Wow, this one is big. Dark red color, no brown edges for this 7 year old. Chocolate mocha beans, blackberries, blueberries. It starts like a very good syrah, which it is, but finishes like a young porto. 16.2% ABV does not taste at all (I am sure it is there and will catch up with me). Solid wine. Unfortunately this is my last bottle and it could last another 3-5 years. Terrific wine!

This was a bit of a disappointment compared to other bottles of this wine. I am not sure if the wine is past its prime or we didn't store it properly, but it was flat compared to previous bottles. Still some fruit but the finish just died. I remember this having some complexity of flavor that just wasn't there this time. It was still drinkable and enjoyable but not the same wine we have had before I liked more.
