  Great showing with plenty of fruit and spice dusty tannins and good acid Might balance a bit more over a year or two.

  Inky ruby color. The intense nose features blackberries, strawberries, plums and copious oak and spice. The full-bodied palate is likewise plush red and black fruit, oak and spice. Medium acid, alcoholic heat and very fine tannins, more likely oak-based than from clusters.
  
  This is not too different from more recent releases. 14.7% alcohol might be a lowball.

  Big and heavy with plenty of flavor to go with it. Jammy, oaky, and spicy with a really long and spicy finish. Drinking well now.

  Quite nice--full bodied, a little spicy, jammy, restrained oak, 14.7 alcohol is a little heavy.
