Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Light brown color...almost a tan/orange/pink hue. Nose of marmalade and orange rind. Palate shows lots of life. A little viscous with a glycerol component on the finish. Roasted nuts with surprising acidity on the back end. Doesn't look like it will be enjoyable by the color...but boy oh boy...this was a treat.

Amber color. Orange and black tea leaves. Full of sous-bois notes. Grainy unresolved tannin. Masculine styling. Enjoyable.
