  Really liked this, but it may have been due to not being able to drink wine for a while that my first bottle back tasted extra good. It does have that dark, spicy, smoky flavor profile but it didn't taste of alcohol. Don't think it needed any more time and it might have had more fruit had we drank it a couple of years ago but it just fine now.

  Nice even color, nose is almost Port. Black cherry and pepper, alcohol atop of brown sugar. Medium heavy and no lift off.

  The wine is a fairly deep maroon color. The big and bold nose has blackberries, cherries, licorice, charred meat, roasted herbs, plums, road tar, violets, and earthy underbrush. This full bodied wine has moderate tannins and good acidity. On the palate there is very nice balance between the fruit and savory elements but a touch of the alcohol is starting to poke out on the back end. The finish has very good length but again is showing a touch of alcohol. The fruit has faded a touch over the last year so the once concealed alcohol is making an appearance. This is still very enjoyable but probably needs to be consumed over the next year before the alcohol takes over.

  Still drinking well, but drink it now. This is one of my all time favorite wines, and there is still plenty of spice in it, but I would recommend drinking it this year.
