Opened, tasted-too sweet. Put aside in fridge for two days. It tasted as lightly better. Fruit, sweetness.

Dry? Tannin? Alcohol? Wouldn't spit it out but I wouldn't buy it either.

2021. My wife and daughter bought and opened this bottle about three weeks ago to make some wine slushes… I was not expecting to be served a glass of it tonight. Other than taking on even more sweet port-like flavors and fake oak vanilla aromas, it tastes similar to what I remember from having it “fresh” before.

Easy drinking and nicely balanced, though this vintage seemed a tad sweet to me.

A great wine for a casual weekend. Smooth finish, not heavy or lite bodied
