April 10, 2022 - Took a while to open up. Drank over a couple days. Started off tight and tanic, but by the end was drinking fruity and almost acidic. Nice bottle. Can’t wait to drink more.

March 9, 2020 - Clear ruby color with bright tart cherry fruit upon opening with a bit of raspberry. Secondary flavors more predominate with pencil lead some leather and a medium body still showing some legs. Enjoyable without food and went well with homemade pizza pie. Probably close to drinking up as the fruit is fading....IMHO
