Friday, December 2, 2011 - nose: cherries, anise, cherry cola, dried red fruits, some vanilla
flavor: great balanced aged tannins, some oak sweetness but nothing overly so, sour cherries, strawberries, currants but not as much spice as i had expected from RRV. I think this wine is peaking right now so drink up. It has a few more years left in it before it takes a turn but it's fine right now. Day one 91

Update: Day 2: nose about the same but the flavors are MUCH more well integrated and balanced. It's a big luscious fruit, spice, and cherry cola classic RRV wine perfectly complementing the spaghetti amatriciana's spice. I'd put this at a 94 today while yesterday it was a bit closed and one dimensional.

it was stored overnight in a eurocav wine preserver.
