Midbodied, that ‘99 balanced ripeness, fully ready, red and black cherry, a little cocoa, some smoky notes. Not super-long, but satisfying from a non-prestige producer. B+

Much better than my prior bottle in April. It took an hour to get going and only got better with time. Sour cherry, leather, an earthy component, slight bit of drying tannin with a long finish. Gained weight over the course of the evening. A great bottle of wine. Sadly, my last one.

Loved it. Maybe a few years past peak, but still exceptional.

Plush, still showing traces of the raspberry and spice of its youth, harmonious, really lovely bottle
