Tonight, I don't like this as much as the last two bottles (see November 23, 2014). Opaque purple with a garnet rim. Nose of plum, prune, cassis, licorice, and vanilla. Medium palate of ripe plum, blackberry, and vanilla with licorice on the finish. Nice silky texture. Good length. Pleasant acidity. Mild tannins. Excessive alcohol interferes with the fruit.

Still young and delicious. Dark garnet. Nose of plum, black cherry, blackberry, and cedar. Ripe palate of bright, juicy fruit. Excellent length. Nice acidity. Sweet tannins.

Very nice wine with good balance and interest, particularly at price point! Was not as good the second day due to some oxidation.

Very nice bouquet- strawberry nose. Nice notes of cranberry and pepper in the mouth, light finish. Decent.

Nice fresh bouquet- strawberries. Mouth and finish a bit lackluster. Nice pepper and cranberry notes.
