The nose had lots of game mixed with blueberry and bacon. There was also some raspberry, earth, and spice. The palate was thick and soft, and had blueberry, game, earth, spice, and a black currant finish.
The nose had peach, pear, floral notes, spice, and a little grass. The palate was rich and slightly sweet, with peach, apple, pear, spice, and a floral finish.
The nose had smoke, tobacco, blueberry, cherry, black currant, and some sandalwood. The palate had lots of dark fruit, some smoke and oak, and tobacco and perfume finish.
The nose had black cherry and game, smoke, spice, and a bit of tar. The palate had sweet cherry mixed with smoke and tar. The finish had some spice, but it was a little hot.
The nose was very nice on this wine, but the palate was way too tannic. It may be too young right now. Right now the nose is really good. Earth and tobacco, plus some cherry, cedar, and raspberry. Outside of the tannins, the palate also had cherry, raspberry, cedar, and a little earth.
