Adequate but not special. Nose is slightly better than the taste, which is mostly dried cherries. Feels a bit like a "manufactured" wine rather than a carefully crafted work of liquid art.

Not much nose. Palate shows black and red cherry, light oak, and a bit of earth. Soft tannin and a watery texture. Good, but not memorable. Not terrible for $20 that I paid, rip-off at $50.
A year or two in the cellar might help, otherwise drink fairly young.

Slightly better than the last bottle about a year ago. Red and black cherry, a bit of spice, well integrated oak/tannin.
Drink now -2025
