Amazing value around $10/bottle. Pulled the cork and let sit for about 10 mins. Fully expected to need a Venturi to be able to enjoy with dinner. Poured a small sample and decided it was ready to rock. At 11 years old this is still the pretty primary. Notes are below.
Nose: leather, vanilla, cedar Palate: fine tannins, sour cherry, maybe plum? Finish: sour cherry, blackberries, medium length

Can’t beat it for the price. Yeast on the nose, palate: lots of green apples, pear, great acidity. Full rounded finish with great mouthfeel. Tons of tiny bubbles.

Decanted an hour before tasting. Some heat on the nose. Palate and finish dominated by strawberries. Restrained flavors but not in a bad way. Paired well with smoked bbq spare ribs. Bbq sauce brought out some pepper notes.
