No flaws and does the job, but for a couple bucks more I would venture that one could find something more exciting. Bottled in 2013; imported by international wine imports; bar stopper cork; 20% ABV.

Only after almost three weeks of being open did it decline just a bit. The sweet spot was in the one week to two week period. Patience.
