  October 23, 2022 - Day 2: This is signing. Nice fruit featuring blueberries, plum and cherry. Also featuring smoke, coffee beans, menthol, spice and floral. Medium plus finish. Should drink well for 5 more years.
  Day 3: Blueberries, menthol, spice, coffee beans, minerals, dark cherries and floral notes. Medium to long finish. In a perfect spot at 10 years of age. 93 points
  Day 4: Still excellent. Menthol, blueberries, spices, floral, minerals and coffee beans. This is an outstanding effort that is worth every $20 I spent on closeout. 92 points
  Recommendation: Even buy at $45.

  August 25, 2022 - Day 1: Rocking wine right now. 10 years and in fine form. Cherry, blueberries, menthol, coffee beans, spice, dust and earth. This is the best wine of the many I bought of this and the last 3 will age less shortly as this is so good. $20 closeout wine from Big Top who unfortunately is no longer in business in the Twin Cities. 94 points
  Day 2: More Bordeaux like than day 1. Features gravel, earth, dust, blue currants, menthol and dried herbs. Medium plus finish. Great wine! 94 points

  May 19, 2022 - Charity Wine Event Minneapolis (Minneapolis, MN): Hey in a blind tasting of average wine drinkers this lost badly to the 2018 Ste. Michelle Indian Wells. Cigar, earth, dust, red currants and floral notes. Medium plus finish. Solid again.

  March 15, 2022 - Day 2: Amazing value from the old Big Top in Minneapolis. Won't tell you what I paid for it. Perfect drinking window featuring minerals, blueberries, spice, earth, dark chocolate and dust. Medium finish and drinking well. (Natural Cork) 92 points
  Day 3: Amazing again. Has not lost a beat. Nice fruit, spices, earth, chocolate and dust. A tremendous value from Big Top in St. Paul Closeout Bins. I miss you guys! 92 points
  Recommendation: If consuming now decant one hour and enjoy but this will age until 2026 without fear.
