    Graphite and vanilla aromas are offset by herbal, stemmy notes of hard spice and mint. The palate shows tomatoey acidity and flavors of pie cherry, tart plum, cherry tomato and vanilla. As might be expected given the precedings, the finish is cleansing and high in acid.

    This is a bit old fashioned on the nose, where vanilla, dried fruit and dill aromas hold court. A dry, traditional type of palate delivers spiced plum, red cherry and mild herbal flavors in front of a light-bodied, slightly oaky tasting finish.

    Smells decidedly burnt and stalky, with rubbery berry and black plum aromas. Shows grip on the palate, along with the same flavors hinted at on the nose: leather, burnt coffee, herbs and roasted berries. Feels pretty good, but the stalky, burnt core dominates.
