Jamaica allspice submerged in black cherry, black raisin, African violets, red roses, cooked poppyseed, grilled, wine marinated steak with rosemary garnish. The palate is silky with medium mouthfeel and stealthy tannic hooks are whisked away like burrs and prickles on a satin sock. Sweet Connecticut wrap of tobacco is assisted by a minute mocha and black peppercorn. This took a while to open, surprisingly, but well worth the wait!

Deep ruby in color; black cherries, blackberries, and cassis on the nose; medium minus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry jam, cardamom, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Not bad. — 2 months ago
Round rich and perfumy- restrained on the fruit. Single vineyard.

This one is very nice... On the nose, some background red and black fruit but dominated by a very savory allspice and some restrained clove... On the palate, the allspice is again there and again the fruit is relegated to background... Could there be cinnamon here? More-than-medium tannin... The finish is medium, dry, and woody... A very interesting glass of wine. This is like a study in cask wood. — 3 years ago
