Got this one at the Winery back in the day. I was surprised how strong the fruit still was. A bit thick and oaky at the back end , but not all that bad.

Nose of cassis, cinnamon, bark, blueberry. Some cheddar cheese is also present. All is quite faint though. Tastes of vanilla, more bark, maple, dried fig, leather, cheese again and some dark cherry. Still all is rather subdued or smoothed over. A bit too light mouth feel. I would call this wine relaxed. Enjoyed though.

Dense crimson. On the nose, strong notes of pencil shavings, wet stone, violets and red berry tart along with some stewed tones. Feels surprisingly light on the palate. Dark fruit flavors. Some cough syrupy tones and hot alcohol and acid. Some straw-laced raspberry notes which are nice. Finishes a bit tart and it's just a tad hot. Detracts from it a bit.

Nothing special. Notes of tree bark, saw dust with mostly a finish of green pepper and a tart finish and too much of a spicy, alcohol finish.
