Started with slightly candied strawberry, a kiss of vanilla, mushroom, sweet earth and allspice. The finish was initially rather light. Over a couple of hours this wine moved to briary black raspberry, mahogany and spicy white pepper. Added weight and length on the pleasantly earthy finish. Ready now and over the next 2-3. Best showing yet.

Not a lot on the nose when first opened. In the first hour, definitely tasted the moist earthiness and dark fruit, very smooth, medium body. Not a lot on the finish at first, but the wine opened up after a couple hours. The next day, the dark fruit was more prominent, and the wine had a longer finish. Overall, a very nice wine.

Pretty nose of candied black cherry, mushroom, damp earth, christmas spice and a hint of sandalwood. Tight black fruit on the palate, vanilla and menthol. Decent length on the finish which has good structure, fruit and minerals. Drink now and over the next 2-3 years. A fabulous value.
