  Loved this. Cherry all the way gives into good acidity and a bright smooth finish.

  I may have written notes on close to a hundred Williams Selyem’s. These are just ok young. It is when they hit 10-15 years they shine. This one is really good tonight after nearly two-hours decanted.
  
  Nose of floral; dark cherries, black plum, blackberries, black raspberries, plum with hues of blueberries. Softly layered baking spices-cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, baking soda, black cherry licorice nibs, red cola, steeped black tea, sandalwood to cedar, sandstone-limestone mixed marl and brilliant, bright, dark, red, blue flowers framed in violets and lavender.

  Alas, the nose was completely corked but the wine was somewhat drinkable. Still, a flawed bottle

  Still great acidity - red fruits. Good with chicken Milanese.

  More complex than the price suggests; palate suggestive of cherry cola (in a good way).
