Spectacular. Well aged cherry flavors and silky tannins make this absolutely delicious in the prime of the drinking window. But... I'm not sure how much better it will get with aging. I think it will survive just fine until 2029, but I really do believe it is downhill from here (2024). I say, enjoy now!

Last bottle. All prior bottles were terrific. This one was just so-so. All of the bottles were shipped to me together and stored in the same place. Also, had a bottle earlier this year that was very good. So, I am confused. Wine is not a game of perfect.

Based on this bottle, this wine may be coming around to what I expect from a Cortina. The flavors seem more true and balanced. We'll see.
