It's been a couple years since the last bottle and the aging shows. Still a lot of cherries, but now more spices, pepper, tar, smoke, with a long slightly bitter finish. That may sound bad, but it was actually pretty good, just a lot different than before.

A good Wine. But it is a wine that needs food. We drank it with no food while watching a bad movie. I should have have turned the TV off and sliced up some crusty bread, poured some olive oil and improved the wine experience. Nothing would improve the movie.

Wine Tasting Group - Theme: Obsucre Grapes - April 8, 2018 (Classic Wine Storage, Dallas, TX): 95% Barbera 5% Zinfandel from Amador County, CA. I was beginning to fade here. Bright tart berry aromas and herbs. Palate showed more components of ripe blackberries and minerals. Some mild cough syrup on back end with a bit of a medicinal finish.
