I think this would have been better 5 years ago. Maybe peaking at around 91 or 92. Stale cherry cola, acidic, medium-length mineral red mountain aftertaste. Not much tertiary here, but fruit flavors are waning. Drink up!

It is beginning to show its age on the finish with a bit of stewed fruit. But the nose is very “heady” and beautiful with lots of dark berry and almost a chocolate mocha on the palate. I got a 4-pack on Last Bottle and think we will drink the other 3 within the next few months.

Vanilla, clove, raspberry jam all come through on the nose. That jammy raspberry/red fruit note carries through on the palate with moderate acidity, followed by notes of chocolate on the finish. Tannins are resolving quickly. This may have a another 5 years in it, but not one to hold much longer than that.

Light on the fruit and heavy on the tannins by the end of the night. Could go with a rich dish or wait a year or two for the last bottle.

Drank with Jeff and Gisela. It was a nice wine, a little sweeter. Maybe 7 stars
