Lots of spice and floral notes on the nose. Cinnamon, cloves, lavender, and perfume. The palate is more fruity than the nose, but it still had those nice spice and floral flavors. The plum and cherry flavors are really good.
An interesting nose of raisin and milk chocolate mixed with coffee bean and plum. There's also a little blueberry towards the end. Very sweet tannins on the palate, the grip is pretty strong. Like the nose, it has raisin and chocolate on the front end, coffee in the middle, and plum and blueberry on the finish.
A heavy dose of pepper and blackberry on the nose, with espresso and cherry underneath. Smooth on the palate, the espresso and pepper are really dominate. The dark cherry on the mid-palate is ripe, and the finish is quite mineral driven.
Lots of graphite and cedar chips on the nose, surrounded by dark blackberry and roasted coffee beans. Rich and oaky on the palate, with good acid, the dark fruit really shines. The mocha on the mid-palate is nice, and the finish has lots of pencil lead.
An explosive nose of grilled meat and graphite, espresso and blackberry, cherry and floral notes. The palate has a huge grip with lots of tannins. Just like the nose, it has lots of meat juice, pencil lead, blackberry, cherry, espresso, and floral notes.
Spice and truffle on the nose, plus lots of perfume, cherry and blackberry. It has quite a bit of oak and it's very rich. This is way to big and oaky. But it had loads of dark fruit.
The nose had a sweet, fake candied aspect to it. It was also viscous and spicy. The end had some berry and oak. The palate was quite tannic, but the incense undertones were nice. Slightly sweet, with more of that fake candy flavors.
