It sounds strange, but this time I detect hops, both on the nose and palate, as if someone snuck some IPA into the barrel. Quite odd, but not unpleasant. Also quite perfumed on the nose. Otherwise pretty consistent with prior, and again remarkably characterful.

A bit soapy on the nose, but also floral with molasses and spice. Medium body and acidity, lots of ripe dark fruit, and a cherry finish with an underlying sweetness; like a cherry lollipop. A bit hot for 13.5% alcohol, which manifested as a burning at the back of the throat. Big, but not without grace. An impressive amount of character for the price.

Consistent with other reviewers, this wine is dark and dense: plummy, oaky, some licorice and rather long. Tannins nicely balanced. It did not ring my bell. But, for those who like powerful wines, this is a great value at $7, and I guess that it will mellow out nicely in a year or two.
