Less funk on the nose as last time but still a tasty wine that is in its prime.

Beautiful wine. Funk on the nose that persisted but didn’t really translate in the glass. Nice balanced dark cherry notes. Have one more bottle. Will drink soon and hope for the same experience.

I know it's a bold statement, but this may be one of the best wines I've ever had.

Wonderfully dry and tannic. Full body with an awesome strawberry and raspberry nose.
