On the jammy-gobby side of things, lacking structure but loaded with superripe blueberry-blackberry fruit, vanilla and caramel. Creamy-textured and shows a bit of heat on the finish.——W.E.(9/1/2005)—— 86

Mouthfilling, but suffers some from a green element in the cassis-like fruit. Offers complex flavors of cassis, meat and sour plums, but that green edge detracts. A serious effort, but running on less than all cylinders.——W.E.(3/1/2000)—— 86
