January 6, 2014 - Cork nearly made it out intact, but broke apart near the end. A crust covered the cork beneath the seal. Deep cola-ish reddish brown, good clarity after careful decant. Nose is a bit maderized, nutty deep plum, chewy caramel, a touch floral. Quite well balanced, good acidity, good backbone of deep fruit, dark spice, a touch of toasty wood but really in the background. After a few hours, even smoother, more integrated, really nice. The finish is long with a slightly tart cherry character. Quite impressive as I was concerned with a low neck fill.
