Consumed this bottle with a farm style pot roast dinner with friends, I was concerned that the bottle would be past it's drinkable window. Man was I wrong! This juice was strong and long.....dark berry color with a tinge of burned orange on the fringe with viscous legs that wouldn't quite. The nose was somewhat standoffish and would hint to the bounty of complex flavors we were about to encounter. The taste was profound, complex, deep and deceptive, we consumed this wine over a period of 2 1/2 hrs while the flavors kept evolving. Impressive! Wish I had more...

Sour nose (hibiscus?), other amazing aromas can't pinpoint. Mouth black licorice on the finish (Lisa's observation). Complex secondary flavors. Fruit overall is muted. A complex aged wine.

The Blind Drunks monthly tasting (Bob & Laurie's): Notes of red currant and iodine, with a subtle herbal note. Nice balance, with mature red fruit flavors and a solid finish.

Drink with food, this is almost gone and will certainly not get better, but it is nice with the right dish. On its own rather simple.
