Baked and dried strawberries, smoke and game. Medium bodied. Touch of nutmeg. Good wine, whose profile would impress friends.

Started as leather, wood turned to apples and vanilla in the nose. Pop of spice, wood, then some nice cherry with heat. Very nice.

Nose is amazing smells more than 10-15 years old. Flower, banana, leather caramel nose. Similar on the tongue but it’s where you see its youth. Very good. Very drinkable.
