Mahogany color with molasses, caramel, espresso, bittersweet chocolate and subtle baking spice aromas. On the palate it's full bodied, viscous, and very persistent with a supple mouth feel that's beautifully balanced with a penetrating acidity that keep it from being cloying and persistent with very good acidity that keeps it from being cloying and provides balance. It shows very sweet flavors of molasses, honey-dipped figs, dates, caramel, and baking spice nuanced citrus note with a kiss of oxidation that adds to its allure and complexity.

Ready to drink. 30 minutes decanted & this wine began opening nicely with dark fruit forward.. A bit of raisin?... Plenty of cherry.. Old leather.. Earthy.. Bit of barnyard both on the nose and palate after 45 minutes. Plenty of depth.. A pleasant surprise at 15 years old! — 10 years ago

Showing well at 30, despite a spongy loose cork. Part of our thanksgiving game of chance, this was the best wine of the evening. — 10 years ago

Out of magnum. Little heat taint here, probably not stored great. Still good wine hit its peak at about 30 minutes of the decanter well-integrated oak definitely can tell it's mountain fruit hard to say what it be like if it was a clean bottle. — 11 years ago
