Intense, though soft, black fruit. Turns a bit flabby on the finish, though very smooth. Tannins lingering on the palate suggest a lot of life left in this wine. So no hurry. Needs a bit more acid, which is a recurring issue with Pride wines.

Forgot I had this in my cellar. Long past its time. Faded, but drinkable. Color starting to lose its pigment. Still has raspberry notes, though they are faint. The primary take-away, though, is that it has lost its concentration.

I'd welcome reconnecting when things get back to normal, and it looks like we share some common tastes in wines. Hope you and yours are well and happy holidays. Peter Feinberg aka sfwinelover1
