Similar notes as our last tasting of this wine. Lots of dark fruits in the nose and flavor, black currants, black cherries, plums, licorice and a hint of mint in the nose. Black cherries, blackberries. and chocolate in the flavor. Medium to full bodied, nice complexity, well balanced and a long finish. 94/95

14.2% abv. Not scoring as the wine likely was not stored properly, which left it with a pruned profile. It was so port like that strangely i enjoyed it.

Came back to revisit this after 6 years and opened my last bottle of the ‘06 Hourglass. All my previous notes and comments are happily reconfirmed. This wine is still as good as it ever was. Loved every sip.

Out of 375ml bottle, this was much closer to my tasting of two years ago than the bottle opened last year. Lots of dark fruits in the nose and flavor with hints of chocolate and licorice. Full bodied, nice complexity, and a long finish.
