I am consistently pleased with the Costera. This one had nice notes of strawberry and raspberry, wood. There's a bit of heat, but not over much. Third night this was relatively unchanged.

Garnet. Odd in that it was better when first opened and deteriorated somewhat rapidly. Initially some nice firmness and backbone but that did not hold for long. Round and juicy, dark strawberry and cherry with a touch of greenness.

Volatile and sharp, with sour cherry and not much more. Much worse than 2 years ago as the notes indicate.
