Just ripe red and black cherries, blackcurrant leaf, red currant, cassis, tobacco, cedar, mushroom, and crushed stones too. 17% abv, high smooth integrated tannins, elevated acidity, full body with a long finish. Not raisinated or jammy at all the 2015 vintage... Starts off dry on the palate, finishes sweet.

Oh yummy yummy yum. This wine is very yummy. From a nose-coating blast of candied molasses, bright but intense strawberries, lined with pipe smoke and cask. The body is like velvet lined with soll, finishing with an everlasting, smoky jam of mixed fruit that draws the sniffer right back to the gorgeous nose. This is, officially, a round trip,

At 15% ABV, this was a bit much for me.
