  Should you be interested, I’ve uploaded info for this vintage which you can peruse at your leisure. (Check wine-searcher’s Vendors & Reviews pgs for “pro” input.) 😉
  
  Private Preserve used after Day 1.
  
  N: Closed; Spice atop flowers (roses?)
  
  P: Rndish entry; Med body; Nice, almost swtish frt met by a nicely firming acidity which transitions into an interesting balance of tanginess/swtness/bitterness, with the varietal bitterness being slightly on top, though that didn't even become noticeable until paired with a Spicy Beef Sausage.
  
  // Day 2: A bit of earthiness now apparent aromatically, the P having held acceptably. NOT a good match for our Stuffed Bell Peppers in Tom Sauce, though since I had but a few ozs left, I thought I'd give it a try... 😊
  
  // ∑: My VG+ (88,89/100 using that metric), & I could EASILY say 90, poss even 91, given the QPR of the $9.95 pd for it! 😀 Drink now & probably over the next 15 -18 mos. 13.2% ABV
