Nice wine but needs a few minutes for the cherry cola to blow off some. Cherry is still dominant and a bit like Luden's, candied as it were. The cola diverges into more varied flavors, some herbal, some spice, some cool. Overall a delicious wine.

Drank on it's own without food. Fruit forward tart cherry, cranberry could use a little more structure. Not much issue with high ABV (14.9%). Opened up nicely as the evening progressed. A few years in the cellar have really help this wine but it is ready to go now.

Fresh nose with some bright berries and some stemmy notes. The palate has bright cherry with some more pit notes but its a little.clipped and air doesnt seem to help. Maybe needs time?

Nose: stinky, candy mint Palate: cherry cream, anise, big for a Pinot (14.9% alcohol), better after it sits in the glass for a couple of hours
