  March 16, 2020 - PnP, but opens during the first 10 minutes or so. Better than the previous bottle opened about four months ago. Clear and clean, with no sediment. A medium bodied wine with red and dark red fruits, some earth, and a touch of spice, with juicy acidity. Medium finish, but showing its age.

  February 24, 2020 - Loved this a few years ago but unfortunately I think we waited too long on this one (for our taste). Some bricking around the edges, definitely smells like an older wine and tastes just a bit disjointed to go along with some tertiary markers. Not bad but wish we would have opened a couple years ago.

  November 28, 2019 - Thanksgiving: PnP. A bit cloudy in the glass, but no sediment present. Medium bodied wine with red and dark red fruits, some earth, and a bit too much acidity. Only OK in a difficult vintage. May be fading so drink up.

  March 8, 2019 - Clear, medium ruby.
  
  Clean, developing nose with medium plus intensity notes of strawberry, cranberry, red cherry, violets and baking spices.
  
  On the palate, it is dry with high acidity, medium minus tannin, medium ABV, medium body. Flavor characteristics include strawberry, raspberry, vanilla and red cherry.
  
  Quality is very good and can drink now but has potential for aging.
