Light, translucent crimson color. Cherry, cherry cola, sassafras and a little dirt on the nose. Cherry, stemmy green flavor and a bit of effervescence on the palate (this may be showing its age). Medium, but somewhat sour finish. Still plenty of fruit, but fleeting. This is DEFINITELY toward the end - drink up!

Garnet color. Nicely perfumed nose. Cola, black cherry, plum, and Christmas spice. A bit too sweet for me. Mild tannins and acidity. Ready to drink now and for the next 5 years. Decant for sediment.

Sweet, cola, red fruit, a little unstructured and scattered. But very hallmark Williams Selyem - a wine I find difficult to dislike. As with other WS the alcohol and concentration are held in check - the wine pours almost pink but does not lack flavour concentration. Drink up or wait. It’s got many years left in it.

Happy we had this wine. It was definitely on the downside, with a touch of mustiness. However, it worked really well with a roast chicken, prepared with a smokey rub. There was still lots of root beer and cola flavors left even though the fruit was dissipating. Much better with food than alone.

Solid but expected better. Dr pepper and lots of spice. Thin on mouthfeel.
