Red fruit, cherry cola and spice on the nose. Surprisingly bright for its age. cherry and a hint of raisin on the palate with a well balanced acid and fully integrated tannins. The finish has a lingering tobacco note that lasts for satisfying length. Really in a good spot right now, glad I have more.

Hmmmm....might have waited a little too long here. Already some brown color along the edges of the glass. This wine wasn't tolerable during the first hour as the acidity was simply overpowering. The fruit showed after the wine had opened up. Nose: Cherries, barnyard, earth, pine needle, and noticeable alcohol. Palate: Cranberries, raspberry, very sour. Acidity is out of balance for me - I mean mouth-puckering. Alcohol on the finish.

Cinder and spice and cranberry on the nose. Quite a mouthful of rasberries, cranberries, chocolate. Ginger snaps and a spices closed off with a long finish of balanced acidity and tanins. Probably will get better over time.

Perfectly enjoyable wine but nothing more than that. I liked it but feel no inclination to seek out more.
