Still drinking well, but with added weight and maturity with another year in the cellar. Musky cherry color with pink meniscus. Voluptuous, satiny sour cherry, cardamon, mushroom and cinnamon on the nose. Slightly boozy at this point, but not in a bad way. Macerated cherry, sour cherry, cherry liquore dominate the palate, but also notes of sandalwood and cinnamon through to the finish. Medium weight, longish finish. Excellent.

This is quite good for the style. Bright, sweet aromatics of cherry, dusty sandalwood, caramel and baking spices. Sweet, spicy cherry, more sandalwood and caramel on the mouth filling palate. Long, sweet finish. Delicious, and drinking beautifully at the moment. Bravo.

A little closed when first opened, drank 1/2 of the bottle. Would have rated it an 89 the first night. Consumed the remainder of the bottle the second night and the wine was singing! Earth, minerality and candied cherry with a great finish. Final rating of 92.

very good. Better than the 2018 AldenAlli RRV I had earlier in the week. Better fruit taste. Smoother finish

A bit soft on day one, day 2 it was a keeper. Was more flavorful, deeper and acidity was more pronounced.
