Ends with a 30-35 second finish with cherry and strawberry notes. Stored at 55 degrees since purchased directly from the winery. Fruit was still very much present and only showing a slight hint of drying. Kosta Browne started moving more towards Williams Selyem style during this time, which is still great wines but not what they were 2004-2005. |
