Took a while to open but was great once it did. Nose of port or gluwein, and plums
Taste of raisins, plums, nutmeg, burnt vanilla, orange peel and oak.

Fruity w cherry, blackberry, cola, then some basil (?) and a touch of cinnamon? A delicious small producer. Really nice cab.

A touch thin and a little too much acidity. Overall delicious.
