This is definitely drinking better than the last bottle. Nice but not big nose of clove, vanilla, spice. On the palate more clove, vanilla, cherry. Moderately sweet, no idea where that comes from. Fine and restrained tannins. Finishes well but not a long aftertaste.

Not bad but not special. Started with some heat which quickly faded, then fairly mellow and fruity.

Great stuff. Still quite tannic. Very good nose with some lead pencil.
