Some older vintages were better. Dark Ruby, purple edges, aromas of dark fruits and a jolt of spice. Palate shows blackberry and dark plum with spice and oak, grippy tannins, acidity and balance not great. Medium finish ending with spice and slight alcohol burn. Pass on this one. Tasting Sample!

Berry patch heaven. Wring out a berry pie and drink this glass up! Baked crust, burst berries, juicy goodness. Oh yes...

Very fruit forward, blackberry and hints of oak spice and vanilla but high alcohol, though surprisingly not too hot, makes it sweet.

Medium to full bodied with dark fruit and spices on the nose. Mild tannins with notes of oak, tart cherry, espresso, and baking spices.

From a magnum this old wine was a pleasant surprise-some fruit left w/very mellow vanilla notes.
