April 24, 2019 - I think Mflesh nailed the wine description. Went with a pop and then ran through a Venturi. Was worried about some sediment but none was captured in the filter. This wine has a fantastic nose dark cherries and with slight hints of cacao and pepper on the finish. The wine still shows signs of aging a little longer. Currently it is in a very nice place now. You will not be disappointed if you pull the cork.
