Two years since last bottle and amazingly similar impression. Aromas of blue/black berries, stems and peppery spice. Thick weighty palate that finishes with a little heat. Nice.

Scott's over for dinner (Ann's): Bottle Five for the evening. A big wine with 16% alcohol. Definitely one of the better wines for the night along with the Pax Alder Springs and the Iron Horse Benchmark. Too late in the night to try to score. 2nd Day - Held up really well. Very big nose. Peppery, fruity, could age a while. Very nice wine.

No heat at all which made me very happy. Seems to be in it's prime but should drink well for at least a couple more years. Happy to have one left.

Dark red color. Nice nose of fruit, pepper and briar. Taste of dark fruit, briar and spice. Too much alcohol in taste and finish
