Been almost 2 years since I last had one of these. Poured a glass out took first sip at about the 1 hour mark and then we consumed the bottle over hours. Nose shows a little cedar, some dusty cherry, a little plum, and a little burnt caramel. Taste is dominated by tart raspberry and cherry up front. Mid palate is a little thin. Finish comes in with a little menthol. Still get a sense of alcohol in transition from mid to finish. No more for us...these are gone.

Day 2 finds this wine still pretty grippy and fruity, without any of the heat issues other tasters have mentioned. Also some gentle spice to be had. Very solid.

Good, needed air for mbe an hour, plenty of fruit but not excessive, great with pizza or more formal fare.
