Last of four bottles, the other three of which I hated. This one is different. Nose has a prominent anise component, with black plum and cassis behind, all vaguely smoky. Palate follows, surprisingly not super tannic, just a port wine chewiness. I found the other three bottles disturbingly sweet; this one is quite dry though there is still sweetness on the nose. This is why wine is fun; also why you should take notes! I still don't love this wine, but it's interesting.

Perf,ect blending of tannins and fruit, good bouquet, long legs, several years left in this beauty. Long finish and out.

Really enjoyed this wine. Like a previous reviewer, I don't understand the low scores either. Medium bodied with cherries and some spice.

Wonderful wine. Can't quite understand the lower scores. Prune, cherry, wood, leather, black pepper. Rough, but in a good sense. Really liked it.
