May 3, 2019 - Showed some bricking around the edge.
Nose was very nice with hints of secondary aromas - cinnamon, nutmeg, christmas spices. Still lots of dark fruit as well.
Palate was fully developed for me. A nice combination of secondary and primary flavors with perfect integration.
Finish was medium long.
Drinking at its peak for my palate.
Would buy again.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 12, 2017 - We had this with pizza on 3/12/17. It had a deep, fragrant, harmonious bouquet of plum, black cherry, chocolate, sage, anise and spice aromas. The palate was rich, balanced well integrated with flavors of plum, black cherry, chocolate, licorice, spice and minerals.
