Tasted after 90 minutes of air. Medium ruby color. Some spice on the nose and potpourri. Sweet cherry fruit with some good crunch. Some tea on the mid palate. This needs some time to smooth out. I didn't like this at all when popped and poured. After air it is much better.

Aroma and initial tast of fresh strawberry but over time in the glass it evolved to bright, crisp cherry and a solid amount of acid. Excellent wine that will improve with age

Joy's 43rd (Our house): Either this is going through an awkward phase, or it just doesn't make a good nightcap, as we didn't enjoy this as much as a bottle drunk a few months ago. Slightly lean and astringent brambly fruit, and generally lacking joie de vivre.

The perfect wine for a Thanksgiving dinner, with its generous fruit, succulent acidity and general drinkability. Lots raspberry, not too sharp, not too sweet. Not a great deal of tannin, but the wine didn't want for structure. Enjoyed by civilian and nerd alike.

Sweet raspberry fruit with some good crunch. Nice spice. Plenty of mid palate lift. And excellent effort.
