September 11, 2016 - Didn't even mean to age this. Drinking now in sept 2016. Needed about 45 min. So amazingly Silky smooth, sensuous. Well balanced. Nose of chocolate. Wow.

August 13, 2011 - I expected very little out of this (it was a gift I never got around to drinking), but it's a decent, if unremarkable, wine. There's a little bit of tannin in the finish to balance out the sweet black cherry up front, but otherwise there's not a lot of complexity here. No noticeable flaws, but no notable highlights.
