November 7, 2023 - Strawberries, black tea, bergamot. Hints of licorice, perhaps? Some notes evoking some sort of fermented pickle (think a banchan side dish in a Korean meal). Hides the alcohol somewhat - but only somewhat - well. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would (in light of previous experiences with Keplinger wines).

June 30, 2022 - Red fruits are prominent on the front end and finishes with grilled herb and coffee on the finish. Powerful wine but not overwhelming. Drink now or over the next 1-2 years

March 14, 2022 - Big fruits wine with an unpleasant finish by my palate, iron ore?
Wine needs decanting of an hour to open up before drinking. -

Drinking notes say best by 2022 but I believe this could go longer.1 person found this helpful Comment
