July 22, 2023 - Nice cherry coloring when poured. Notes of cherry, tea, spice and a hint of mint. Faded quickly and became one dimensional. Suspect I waited to long on this one.

January 23, 2021 - A nice strawberry / raspberry red coloring when poured. Red fruit flavors predominated, the afore mentioned strawberry, raspberry and sweet cherry. Very smooth, almost to clean on the finish. None of the earthy notes typical of a French burgandy. Enjoyed, but drink up.

July 26, 2020 - Still fun and fruity, but with a touch of gravitas due to its age. Bright cherry fruit over some sous bois.

June 6, 2020 - Pleasantly surprised with this. Decanted about 45 mins. Still has some nice fruit, but has developed some nice secondary characteristics. A little alcohol pokes through, but otherwise surprisingly balanced.

April 1, 2018 - Dark ruby in color, with slight bricking. There are subdued aromas of red fruits and flat cola. Flavors of ripe red and black cherry, light herb, and a touch of mineral are balanced but somewhat short. Finishes crisp. Improved with a two hour decant
