September 24, 2020 - This is at the end of its life - a bit dull and underwhelming upon opening. It opened up a bit after about an hour. But drink soon.

February 9, 2020 - - Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of raisin, violet and orange blossom. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of raspberry and cloves with a light/medium body. Narrow texture with a medium finish - Cork was like sand. Heavy floral smell. Lighter bodied. Good finish. Has to push cork in and filter.
