I got a new wine decanter and I thought it would work miracles. Well, it didn't. It's a wine decanter.
I really didn't give this wine enough time to open up. So when I finally really started to enjoy it was by the third glass. Another thing I did was pour a taste then decant the rest and try to identify how it changed.
My nose is off a bit here in winter but I get a earthy, hay, grassy with a floral wiff every once in awhile. I think that's one of the reasons I like this wine.
Both glasses looked the same, a deep dark red brown. The legs on this wine are a slow Wineding road.
I really like this wine anyway, the new decanter messing with me, finally by the third and fourth glass this wine turned into a serious winner. It has mellowed out beautifully and taste like the roses that are still in the house. Smooth a nice mouth feel, the wine fills the taste buds.
I'm so glad I have another bottle.

Plum raisin dried fruit on the nose. A dark purple almost bluish color. On the first sip the first thing I notice is how extremely dry this wine is.

Very nice. Starts with berries and leathers notes with a long finish. Great mouth feel. It is opening into much more complexity as it rests.
For the 6 bucks this wine is outstanding.
