Much better than the last bottle. Funky sous bois, kola nut, and ripe raspberry throughout, prickly acidity. Med acid, med- tannin, full body. Showing some tertiary notes, leaning towards spice box, fermented tobacco, and cured leather. Nice wine, ready to go.

Weird wine. Total kola and vanilla in the mouth, kola and mint in the nose. Pretty one dimensional, ready to go- perhaps a bit over the hill. Hopefully my other bottles are showing better.

This final one drank exceptionally well. End of a case. It was rich, I drank it over 4-5 years and it felt more like Russian River than Sonoma Coast. I love both just different pairings. You likely won't find this at its age but if you do get a good 4-6 bottles for immediate drinking, crowdpleaser.
