February 2, 2020 - Opened, decanted, and drank over six hours
Burgundy colored, medium bodied.
Floral notes, iodine, some red berries
Lots of finesse with this bottle. Soft, with some nice flavor profiles and a medium-minus finish.
MAGNUMS ARE BETTER!!!
Bought this bottle from the 'winery'. Good stuff especially for the price.

September 20, 2017 - Second bottle, my comments would be consistent with my June 2017 notes. Only one addition, more air time improves the flavor somewhat, however, it introduces a chalkiness that is unpleasant. Maybe a little harsh with my initial score, but not too much.

June 3, 2017 - Medium garnet in color, with aromas of unripe cherry and forest floor. Light in body backed by very firm acidity puts this wine out of balance. Flavors of sour cherry and loganberry with tart acidity that mutes any secondary flavors. The wine is pleasant enough, but not special, and requires a tolerance for tart wine. This wine is definitely better with food but not what you'd call good with it because of the pronounced tartness. The acidity is not likely to soften with time and what fruit is there will likely fade, drink now.

December 24, 2016 - No decant and drank over 3 hours. Part of the fun is the development in a glass. Very tight with taste of sour cherries at first. Took about 30 min to open up. After an hour it softened and bright red fruit was evident. Very fresh and lively.

February 21, 2016 - Cherry, raspberry and floral notes. White currant and sweet black cherry flavors with an earthy undertone. Nicely balanced. Will continue to drink well for many years.
