August 16, 2015 - Had this with gently cooked salmon. It was wonderful. I'd say in the prime of its life. I enjoyed more than analyzed but do recall a perfumy, rose petal nose, moderate mouthfeel and flavors of raspberry, a bit of tea and, towards the end of the bottle, a more pronounced licorice flavor. Perfect match with the fish.

June 1, 2013 - Nose is very expressive - sandlewood, peppery spices, subtle smokiness and bing cherry. Palate is tart, with cranberris and red currant. Opened up from 56 degrees, and let warm. Elegant and lithe.

May 22, 2013 - Light red color with notes of cherries, cinnamon, red fruit and spices. Well-balanced, with cherry and red currant flavors, spice and floral qualities. Long finish. In a great place right now.

May 22, 2013 - Last bottle. Opened at Anvil on the veranda. Typical WesMar nose with incredible aromatics. Notes of cherry and red fruits. This showed more earthiness than previous bottles. Still holding nicely.
