Delicious. Maybe my favorite wine right now. Dark fruit, silky smooth tannins, wonderful buttery deliciousness. This will be a staple for sure.

Started off delicious but after an hour or two got all syrupy, ripe and dense. Not a bad wine, but picked a little earlier could be a lot better I think

Crunchy dark cherries, overripe raspberries, cinnamon red-hots. Should settle down and improve with 2 years age.

Needs to be drank now. Good but fruit is fading. Thinner than I remember.

Still holding up, this isn’t on the decline yet. Actually one of the better showings that I’ve had recently.
