PnP, consumed over 3 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby-garnet. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developed aromas of dried cranberry, sweet tobacco, brown sugar, cinnamon, and leather. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium tannin is surprisingly persistent, medium body, medium+ intensity, 14.2% abv with developed flavors of cinnamon, baking spice, and dried cranberry with a medium+ finish.
Balance: Excellent Length: Excellent-Outstanding Intensity: Excellent-Outstanding Complexity: Very Good-Excellent
This has aged beautifully with the fruit showing candied and dried notes with a lovely spice backbone. Hard to imagine this getting better from here but should drink well for 3-5 years easily.

Beautifully aged wine. Color between garnet and brick. No fruit on nose at all. Leater, tobacco, slight wood on nose. Forest floor flavors with a light body and cocoa on the back palate. Clear. Short finish.

Disappointing for this Reserve. As others have noted raisin color, no finish.
