This is my 2nd bottle of this, and in general it was disappointing, I dont know if it is in a dumb phase or just an unimpressive meritage. Very little fruit other than a pruney taste. This may be a fantastic wine in 3-5 years, or it may be just a dull. Wish I had another bottle to see.

Sort of a dullish purple. Blueberry, plum and baking spice nose. Medium bodied, brambly blackberries, tart black cherries, leather, pepper, solid tannins, tobacco, and a grainy, medium+ finish. Well made and a good value at the woot price. I think it will improve with more time.

Okay wine without much depth. It may have been much too you for consumption as the bottle says "may be drunk now or enjoyed for decades to come". Overall I was a bit dissapointed as I liked the other Sunce wines.

Still very tannic and closed, even after a pass through the Vinturi and/or an hour in the glass. Really wants at least another few years horizontal. Considerably better when I returned to it, corked and refrigerated, three days later. 80ish for me on first day; potentially high 80s at least.

Definitely agree with the other reviews noting that the wine is still closed right now. Will wait a while before opening next bottle
