A deep brownish color with a pale ruby background. Soft and sweet, full of flowers and some spices on the nose. Fully resolved tannins, bing cherries, and a dollop of spirit interlace nicely with the sweet and softer body and lead into a moderately long and sweet finish. This bottle was fully mature but should hold here another 5 or so years. One of the better bottles I've had of this.

About 6 hours seemed to be about right for this bottle, allowing some of the spirit time to integrate (as it was much more spirity on initial decant)Rune EG wrote:I have one of these in my cellar.
