NOSE: expressive; red-fruited; floral; showing beautifully at the moment.
BODY: medium bodied.
TASTE: concentrated raspberry; 14.6% alc. is noticeable; a bit earthy; hint of leather. In a really nice spot, showing some tertiary character. Further ageing is a gamble, imo, as the high alcohol worries me, and this simply comes-across as a big wine that may very well fall apart quickly from here on out. Drink Now. -

May 29, 2020 - Drinks exceptionally well now. Sheer perfection in mouthfeel, somewhat minerally. Big Big nose of spicy strawberry and flavors of spicy strawberry with light cola and cloves in a very full bodied way. Nothing old about this 16 year old MGS blend. Flavors fo sweet cinnamon , warm strawberry and dark spices explode after the minerally- slate mid pallet. That mid pallet is unexpected but good. Its so perfect now but will certainly hold and change for... I would say 3 years.

February 1, 2020 - Still vibrant and delicious at 16 years old. Rich plum, black pepper, and a long finish. Still an amazing amount of fruit in addition to all that delicious structure.
