Black cherry and raspberry fruit smoothing to notes of cola and baking spices. Finishes with subtle tannins that are as much dirt as wood. A lot of complexity in this bottle. It sat open >hour before I tasted, so that probably helped.
8/4/2021 I noted more tartness this time around and the finish was not as refined. But I popped and poured this time versus the air time so that was maybe the problem.

Color in the glass is a light maroon, translucent, light around the rim. Nose is very bright, hints of strawberry, & vanilla, very inviting. The wine is very light but decadent, more of that slightly tart strawberry and cream flavor finishing with a bit of baking spice, slightly dry. Complex, layered. Pay attention when drinking, there’s a lot happening here.

I am amazed that I spent so much money for a wine so simple. It's that antithesis of a bargain. Tastes on cranberry sauce with little complexity. Nose smells faintly of shoe polish. After a hour after opening it started to develop so complexity.

Very fresh tasting with loads of bright red fruit such as pomegranate and cranberry bursting through. It did not evolve from glass to glass not did it show much complexity. It was quite pleasing and showed admirable purity.
