Dark plum syrup, dried black cherry, smoked meat, BBQ sauce, cinnamon, leafy, forest floor. Decent but overripe.

A beautiful nose. Still young, this is a great sipping wine,--no big gulps here. This is one to savor. This is also one to age another 4 to 7 years as it will get better with time. Drinking now,...provide plenty of air and drinking at around 67° would be my suggestion. In a few years I have no doubt I'll rate this a solid 9+.

A decent meritage. Not as smooth as bin 509. Has a nice spicy finish. Very powerful fruit notes.

What a wonderful powerful spicy wine with a long aftertaste . Had this with smoked duck breast. This wine was still a little fiery for me a few more years should round that off.

Wow. What a great blend! Moderate tannins with a nice long finish. Subtle spices, leathery mouthfeel and tobacco notes for a powerful body.
