September 22, 2015 - Drinking really well now, and held up quite nicely for these day 2 notes with just a simple cork.
Nose is like its name, with clove, cinnamon, and other spices mixed up with berry cobbler aromas. Smooth, medium tannins, and the fruit tends to be a bit more subdued on the palate, with the spices coming out fairly strongly. Very short finish--would have liked to have seen more here. -
