Un-named Atlanta Wine Tasting Group - High End Reds; 12/7/2023-12/10/2023 (Beebe House): Starter wine for tasting. Faint red color - bottle acquired in 5/2011 and stored in cool cellar since. Faint bubbles - kids were not impressed when the cork was popped. On nose, yeast, tart cherry and other complex notes that I can't describe. Medium+ body, medium acidity and long finish. NR given I don't drink this enough to have a firm view. Very enjoyable but didn't blow me away either which I was expecting given the price point.

Incredible. Late 90's disgorgement. So complex and with no signs or tiring.
