I generally love how the Stolpman wines age (I've not had any beyond 10 years old) This one was aromatically expressive, and well integrated but for what seemed some dominant oak flavors. 92ish

Soft, round layered flavors of berries, chocolate and spice. Drinkable right away but great reward for patience. Really kicked in about 1 hour after opening. Decant if you just can't wait. The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blueberry, Gooseberry, Black Pepper, and Clove. It tastes like Blackberry, Blueberry, Gooseberry, Medicinal, Oak, Black Pepper, Clove, and Chocolate. The body is Full. The wine has Round texture. The wine finishes Long.

Good dark fruit and savory notes but overwhelmed by heat on end.

Lovely bouquet of dark fruits and savory notes of leather and tobacco leaves but heat on backend overwhelmed the experience.
