Lovely! At it’s peak now, so sweet, smell of ripe dates and raisins. So happy I caught it at its peak

For being the best vintage ever produced; it's not overwhelmingly outstanding.

Tobacco, vanilla, spice, dried herbs, raspberry, wet earth. Seductive notes of chocolate cherry. Loooong finish.

OMG. Crushed rocks, pencil shavings, red and darker fruit, baby bit of plastic/band aid, cinnamon, Intensely aromatic, 3+ minute finish. Unbelievably good!

Beautiful heady bouquet even before the nose hits the glass. Round red fruit and bramble, dense and dark ruby - deeper in flavor and color than same vintage drink prev years. Finish is medium and slightly rough, but pretty good overall.

Garnet coloration. On the nose, cherry, leather and oak. A fainter nose. On the palate, cherry, leather and vanilla. Not much of a finish. Still good tannins. Rather faint palate. A little more present palate then following day.

Costco value find. Dealt out developed fruits with just enough time to keep things firm and not flabby. Delicious ranges of fruit spanning blueberries to raspberries and all the various colors and tones in between. A slight bit of spiciness and a bite thats more of a bell pepper than actual chilies
