PnP and drank over 2+ hours. Semi-translucent rose, with hints of aging brown. Typically light OR Pinot body. Nice spice. Interesting mix of red and dark fruit. Red predominates somewhat, with cherry, strawberry and faint cranberry. Having trouble with the dark: Plum? Blackberry? Spice hangs on for the very long finish. Very nice wine, drinking well.

PnP and drank before, during and after dinner. Nearly opaque black/ruby. A little below “full-bodied.” Multiple flavors I’m having trouble parsing. Cherry? Blackberry? Some blueberry? Anise? Definitely spice on the front, but it fades on the moderately long finish. Some hints of Old World earth too. 1/ Pleasant, but more “interesting “ than “delicious.” 2/ There is no hurry with this one; 3-5 more years at least. 3/ Next time I’m having this one with a 1” thick NY Strip.
