Aged wonderfully. Has another 5-8yr at least. Sassafras and black plums and cola. Evolved nicely in the glass.

Cherry, raspberry preserves, blackberry, vanilla, plum and oak. Full-bodied and quite tannic.

Heading into the decanter now, aromas of sweet blueberry jam coming out as the wine goes in, just beautiful. Last bottle...

Nose is a little bit of raspberry/blueberry, but there is a note of alcohol, just a little hot (15.6%) in my opinion. Palate is blueberry pie, delicate and balanced oak notes make for a great crust. I think this bottle is too young, easily would hold for another 6-8 years without concern.

4/22 Deep, dark, structured. Very berry. But did not love. More interest than anything else. 85

Tight - needs time to breath. Then mild tannins and balanced flavors

Slightly bitter after taste but full bodied and would be good with food.

Deep dark and luscious. Boozy with tobacco and tannins to balance out everything quite nicely.
