  Delicious. Thick, fruity. Kept morphing as it opened up.

  Not the top James Berry compared to some other vintages but still quite enjoyable.

  3/17/2024 - bravo.solares Does not like this wine:

  Very powerful nose. Nose suggests blueberry syrup. A bit (no - VERY) artificial and bubblegummy. To me, this is too sweet, cloying, and extracted. Some people at the table loved it, though. Especially people not into wine, at least in this small sample. Wine critics seem to love this, too - which I find puzzling. Most definitely not for me. My least favorite wine of the night. Did not play well with food. Maybe better without food?

  3/8/2024 - DeuceMcgee Does not like this wine:

  The nose is cloyingly dense. Aromas of cherry kirsch, black tea, underbrush, sharpie, alcohol, along with a scorched earth note. Similar palate; viscous mouthfeel and the alcohol very present. I can only assume this is what cough syrup was like during World War II. The alcohol makes this wine feel flabby and disjointed. This strikes me as a hammer smashing Jimmy Suckling meets Robert Parker slugfest. Short finish for the money.
