This wine has aged beautifully. Heavy blackberry and anise nose. Very Dark purple, almost black with a nice light visible ring on edge. Silky smooth initial flavors of dark fruit. Flavor builds to big brightness and bigger acidity towards finish. Smokey, earthy, licorice, and bing cherry flavors add on backend. Nice heavy spice on finish. Medium weight red wine.

Medium ruby, some garnet flashes. On the nose medium intensity blackberry, blackcurrant, red plum hint of vanilla. On the palate the wine is dry with medium + intensity acidity, medium + fine tannins, medium alcohol, and medium body. Flavor intensity is medium with blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, red plum , red cherry, vanilla, hint of cinnamon. The finish is medium. The wine is good but lacking midpalate, perhaps just past its peak.

Inky eggplant in color, lightening to deep, ruby burgundy at the meniscus. Notes of vanilla, cherry, tobacco, and a hint of violet - on the palate, a smooth dance of bright stonefruit followed by a dash of flint. Deepens as the wine opens up, but enjoyable right from the cellar. Highly recommend!

Feels a little unbalanced. Dark fruits. Maybe a little under ripe. Lots of charred vanilla on the end.

Similar to my prior note, but this bottle is better preserved and has good intensity on the palate throughout. This one reminds me why I love Linden.
