Perhaps the best bottle of the case! A nice garnet coloring when poured. Did not decant! Primary flavors of cherry, raspberry, some kirsch and a hint of vanilla. The wine lacked the raisiny, overly acidic finish common to many!

From a half bottle. A dark garnet coloring with a nose of candied cherries. Also flavors of kirsch, rhubarb and chocolate. A much richer flavor profile than I remember from other bottles. A fair amount of sediment.

A nice ruby garnet coloring accompanied by an initial glass of cherry, raspberry and red fruit with good structure. The 2nd glass included a lot of sediment resulting from careless pouring, which changed the profile to a raisiny / prune aromas.

A nice garnet color with slightly over-ripe flavors of raisins, prunes, cranberry and cherry. The split had more sediment than many regular sized bottles, which may account for some of the flavor profile.
