  5/2/2020 - Klinkmann Likes this wine:

  Relatively high tannin. Lots of leather and tobacco. Sour cherries. Smokey finish.

  Always solid, every year. Some years, like '03, are standouts. The ones that aren't are still excellent bottles of wine. You never have to worry when buying Sempre Vive, especially around the $20 price point. 89-90 pts.

  Decanted, and showing its development nicely.
  Aromas present with notes of smoke and earth, hints of eucalyptus lay behind scents of dark cherry, mocha, pomegranate, earth, leather, wood and dried flowers.
  On the palate structured and in it's prime, dark cherry notes show a slight dried side, currant, flowers, vanilla, oak, chocolate, leather and herbs and eucalyptus.
  
  Overall, showing well and has life left in it. A little air and this will show well.
