Amazing how this is still drinking well in 2023! Still gives the impression of raspberries in the nose and mouth. Good acidity that seems well integrated in the finish.

Wow! This wine has really come around. Tannins have matured nicely, while all of the fruit and acids are still present. Nose has really opened up. Raspberry with savory spices (more so than the usual cooking spices) and herbs in the nose. Paired really well with spicy pork. Can't believe this was $12. Fantastic QPR for that, and with this in mind am raising my score from 91 to 92.

What a difference a year and a half make. This wine was good early last year but a real treat this year. Could have rated it higher. Smooth dark fruit that was perfect with a roasted chicken. Great QPR.

Sticking with my prior reviews but this is holding up well. Probably has a couple more years but sadly, I have but one more bottle.
