Bright Cherry, very Acidic finish, Light tannins, Still quite dark, but a lot of sediment, maybe dormant, or maybe declining?

2/10/2024 - moxielady Does not like this wine:

This is past its peak. I’m not going to put a #score, because it’s not the Wine’s fault. I regret not following the advice of my review from 4 years ago - drink now, it’s not going to get better. We each had half a glass, and then let it go…. Maybe it would be OK as a second or party bottle, where you don’t notice how flat it is??

Still drinking well, earthy w some fruitiness and a slightly tannic finish: A bit tight when first open and rust colored hue. Drank side-by-side with a more fruity 2015 of the same wine, which made this one, feel more austere.

Nice structure, dark fruit, balanced acid and tannins, bit more acidic on the finish drunk on its own, but great with food. Opened an hour before a holiday party and served with tamales, it was a great accompaniment. Drinking well now.
