Still drinking well despite being just out of the window. Surprising amt of fruit. Wonderful nose of spice, dark cherries and plums (which I didn't get w/ any of the other bottles). Acidity/tannins were nearly gone but wine was still reasonably balanced. Next day wine had become pruny. My last bottle -- definitely good memories on this one.

Beautifully integrated nose of bright raspberry, underbrush and that telltale Van der Kamp pine needle characteristic. It hits the palate with creamy black cherry fruit with a touch of vanilla. The finish shows more of the raspberry fruit and menthol. A wine of superb balance and finese. I think this is close to end of its peak window as the fruit faded a little towards the end of the bottle. Drink up.

Fruity cherry nose. Oak, tannic, hot. Light strawberry. Smoky.
