Delicious at 15 years.. Purple garnet with browning edges. Forest floor nose. Plums twigs spices, lingering tannins.

I was around 600 for a long time, but buying shot up during the pandemic!

Amanti Vino in Morristown and Montclair has classes:

More informally, the maestro of wine in Maplewood: Hank Zona has a monthly informal tasting club:

Really good! Stony lemon, hazelnut, grapefruit pith. Reminds me of Ceritas.

Delicious. Crimson color hint of orange. Meat, berry, mint. Integrated tannins. Hint of baby powder. 5 hours to fully open.
