The nose is vibrant and jumps out of the glass. Red ripe fruits like cherry, plum, figs, and prune are front and center. The palate picks up where the nose left off and continues with more of the same plum, cherry, fig, prune, and goes out on a bit of vanilla wafer and oak. The finishe features more oak and lends itself to being a bit more dry. Overall this is a fantastic 15 year old, and a bargain at 59.99!
