  Dark red, no fading. Rich aromas of raspberry and plum on the nose. Ripe, dark fruit on the palate, blackberry, black cherries, anise. Nicely resolved tannins, bright acidity, excellent balance. Finishes long with anise notes. Excellent but probably better 4 to 5 years ago. Should drink well for 3 to 4 years more. Threw a fine sediment.

  Really smooth and mellow at this point, with the blue fruits mingling with hibiscus tea and loam. No reason to sit on these much longer.

  No formal notes. It was one of our Easter wines and really drinking nicely. In fact it was really a beautiful bottle that everyone enjoyed along with a Turley and an Epoch.
