So much better after waiting this long. Smooth and delicious on its own. Definitely tasting some baking spices that makes it feel like a scrumptious mouth full. Yet elegant enough to keep you coming back for more. Definitely worth the wait!

Brother's Last Night in Town (3 Day Wine Review World Headquarters, Minneapolis, MN): Day 2 review: Dark currants, spices, floral and earth. A bit hot even on day 2. Honestly maybe over time it will settle down but this is not a wine I would want to drink again. 87 points Day 3, 4 and 5: This wine was not flawed but heavy oak influence and not balanced. I like Hartford wines but not this one. Gut impression on the 3 day average 80 points Recommendation: Cellar and hope this improves because this bottles was a hot mess.

Popped and poured. Dark ruby color. Dark peppery fruit. Drying tannins. Medium plus tannins. Plums. Nice balance. Needs time.
