  Dark ruby in color. Peanut M&Ms on the nose, giving way to some vegetative, musty notes on the nose. Not what I expected from an LBV, so it is possible that this might be a slightly off bottle. Those detractors didn’t seem to carry over to the palate, though, where there was an intense mouthfeel with tart cherries and red fruit. A touch of spice on the very long finish. (90 pts.)
