November 28, 2022 - Drinks well now. Has some remaining fruit and acidity. Would not hold any longer.

November 6, 2021 - Dark ruby core with brick red hue.
Aromas of blackcurrant, mix of dark and red berries intermix with earth, leather and cedar notes.
Soft and mellow entry, intensity building up at midpalate with balance acidity. Lingering finish with a fine grip and spicy aftertaste.
Holding well, a simple and pleasant wine to drink tonight. Very good QPR. -

July 21, 2018 - It smells like strawberry jam, raspberry and mushroom. It tastes like mushroom, nutmeg, barnyard, peach blossom and strawberry. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

July 20, 2017 - I love this wine for the price ($14). Now the American oak is strong on the nose and I love teevines "mix of coffee and chocolate powder (nestle quick)." The nestle quick is strong as well. The red fruit seems a bit sweeter than my last note- more cranberry than cherry. This is just an amazingly interesting age-worthy wine for $14. I bought 2 cases and still feel like I missed an opportunity!
