Our last bottle. Popped and poured. Showing some bricking at the edges, but still a dark red color. Very aromatic as I expect from Hirsch. Black cherry, some earthiness and cinnamon and baking spices on the nose. Has become more complex with age. Blackberry, blackcherry flavors start out, followed by earth and baking spices. Velvety smooth with a long smooth finish. The tannins are completely resolved. Maybe a touch past its peak, but still drinking really well.

Interesting nose of damp pine forest floor, wild raspberry, smoke and game. Silky on the palate with dark, woodsy fruit, pine needle, smoked meat and a little cinnamon spice. A medium length, spicy finish with fresh strawberry and white mineral. Very enjoyable, but this bottle had a little less energy compared to one from a year ago. I recommend drinking soon.

14.1% alcohol. This is such a pretty wine. Rich red color. Gorgeous nose of black cherry, blackberry, earth, baking spice, and minerals. In the mouth, so lively and delicious, with that classic Siduri verve behind it. In the mouth, deliciously pure, with loads of black cherry and blackberry fruit. There is ample complexity in this gracefully aging wine, with notes of earth and spice. Long finish. Just a pretty, complete, gorgeous wine. A-/A

simple and not that interesting. Bit of fruit but not much else.

Nice bouquet. Up front berries, but not much back end. Might be on the way downhill
