Here was the wine I had on New Year's Eve, it was brought over by a friend ... for a wine that is 13 years old it was surprisingly youthful on the nose mixing in a blend of dried and fresh sour cherries, quite surprising indeed. The palate showed a lot more complexity, the dried cherries were there along with dried leaves which turned into pipe tobacco on the finish. One of those in attendance said they tasted bitter cocoa (powder-like) in the mouth ... and who can argue with something like that - I sure didn't, especially since I had already finished my ration.
