Just enough blackberry, black raspberry, and strawberry to justify its vanilla plushness at this stage; ymmv Tons of 5-spice, especially star anise Maybe savory and some rock I can't identify Good enough to wish it was better i.e. longer Fine at the $25 I paid; suspect I & pretty much everyone here can do better in the 40s it normally sells for, regardless of provenance or style

Always one of my favorites! I have not had for a few vintages, but the nose I remember and love was front and center. I could smell this wine all night long. Raspberry and spice. Yum! Finish was slightly short.
