November 11, 2023 - Similar notes as previous tastings. Still performing well and should easily go several more years

October 23, 2023 - The high alcohol level just overwhelms this wine. Martinelli has gone way too far on ripeness for all their wines. As a long time customer I no longer have interest in this style of wine. Too bad, as a bit of restraint would really help balance their wines.

May 10, 2023 - Upside: velvet, classic aromas, still plenty of life, certainly out of the ordinary. Downside: what’s with the high alcohol? Medium weight, long finish.

February 5, 2023 - Similar to previous notes. Nice ruby color. Raspberries and floral in the nose with menthol, earthiness and hints of tobacco. Blueberries, black raspberries and spicy notes in the flavor. Rich, complex, medium to full bodied, nice complexity and a medium to long very smooth finish.
