November 10, 2010 - This is also spritzy, and the refermentation actually helped ease the cork out when I pulled it. Fortunately putting it into a decanter with some vigorous swirling got rid of it. What remained was aromatically complex, with probably a touch of RS. Hard to say if this should be considered flawed or not, though there were problems on the bottling line.

February 15, 2010 - Very nice. Great nose, lots of berries and other fruit notes wit hsome earthiness/spice to give it some interest and body. Taste was full and lush. We went through a bottle quickly while prepping for a dinner party - went back for more but none available. Will look for it again.

January 5, 2010 - Some refermentation; slight spritziness on the tongue and around the rim. I was able to get rid of much of it by sloshing it around. I'd heard earlier from the person who sold them to me that apparently there have been some quality control problems with bottles of this. First I've seen yet, but something to be prepared for, unfortunately.
