Did not stand the test of time. In the beginning there was still some strawberry madness going on, but due to the missing structure the wine was a little flabby and alcoholic. It was definitely not for the long run.

Just after opening the nose was gamey to the point of suggesting reduction, and either mellowed with oxidation or tasting into a quite pleasant little funkiness. Big, ripe strawberries dominate the palette, backed up by slight smoke and a hint of leather. Rich, round body. An absolute joy for half off $40, still worth it at full price.

Had with Thanksgiving dinner - great complement to the meal. Full-bodied and well-balanced with strawberry, cranberry notes. Also noticed pleasant smokiness as well. Would buy again.

Poured through a Finer instead of decanting. Nose full of berries in the glass. Fruit forward on the palette, with a smokey finish.
