  • Day 1: My last bottle from a super deal at $20.00 from the old Sid's in Bloomington. Tobacco, dark fruits, spice, minerals, earth and gravel. Nice Bordeaux style wine. 92 points

  • Day 2: This is signing. Nice fruit featuring blueberries, plum and cherry. Also featuring smoke, coffee beans, menthol, spice and floral. Medium plus finish. Should drink well for 5 more years.
    Day 3: Blueberries, menthol, spice, coffee beans, minerals, dark cherries and floral notes. Medium to long finish. In a perfect spot at 10 years of age. 93 points
    Day 4: Still excellent. Menthol, blueberries, spices, floral, minerals and coffee beans. This is an outstanding effort that is worth every $20 I spent on closeout. 92 points
    Recommendation: Even buy at $45.

  • Day 1: Rocking wine right now. 10 years and in fine form. Cherry, blueberries, menthol, coffee beans, spice, dust and earth. This is the best wine of the many I bought of this and the last 3 will age less shortly as this is so good. $20 closeout wine from Big Top who unfortunately is no longer in business in the Twin Cities. 94 points
    Day 2: More Bordeaux like than day 1. Features gravel, earth, dust, blue currants, menthol and dried herbs. Medium plus finish. Great wine! 94 points

  • Charity Wine Event Minneapolis (Minneapolis, MN): Hey in a blind tasting of average wine drinkers this lost badly to the 2018 Ste. Michelle Indian Wells. Cigar, earth, dust, red currants and floral notes. Medium plus finish. Solid again.

  • Day 2: Amazing value from the old Big Top in Minneapolis. Won't tell you what I paid for it. Perfect drinking window featuring minerals, blueberries, spice, earth, dark chocolate and dust. Medium finish and drinking well. (Natural Cork) 92 points
    Day 3: Amazing again. Has not lost a beat. Nice fruit, spices, earth, chocolate and dust. A tremendous value from Big Top in St. Paul Closeout Bins. I miss you guys! 92 points
    Recommendation: If consuming now decant one hour and enjoy but this will age until 2026 without fear.
