I give this one a sad face. I thought my husband had added water. Missing on all aspects of palate. So disappointed. I believe it’s the vintage. It will not improve with age
Brown red. Lacking fruit. Min tannins. Alcohol and chewing tobacco spit. Some improvement after breathing for an hour but so disappointing esp considering the price

I will guess the drinking window is longer than estimated...maybe 2020. I have a few more bottles to test. This one is still alive with no sign of decline. No bret. good stewed fruit and a lot of rustic forest. I am so pleased I purchased a bunch of this one for $18 a bottle.
