Started out great with lots of very forward black cherry and cassis fruit. A touch of tobacco and earth, with a toffee-like sweetness on the finish. I liked it on day 1. Started falling apart rather quickly on day 2, and by day 3 it was all VA and tartness. A tad disappointed it didn't hold up better, even though I vacu-sealed.

not a bad wine, still quite a bit of acid and tannins, which with more bottle time, would simmer down and integrate. Medium finish, deep purple, spice bite, maybe that's the alcohol, if not, would think there were some syrah. Enjoyable

The last of my stash. Pronouced purple perfume, soft body yet with driving acidity on the back end. Betcha it has a long life ahead.
