30$ Costco. Opened late at Xmas dinner due to other wine someone brought being a terrible wine… not flawed…just terrible (I mean really. It’s Christmas dinner…come on). Needed an extra hour but showed really well at 30 minutes. Initially a little tight and muted nose. Opened up to deep flavourful red cherries, spiced cranberries and polished tannins. Some blue fruit and no real noticeable vanilla thank goodness. as well as a blend of spices that started to sing at a hour +. Really delicious.

Was overly ambitious previous evening and this bottle got a 20 hour decant. Showed amazing. Has a great future.

Nice pop on this one. Likely to improve with additional integration and time.

6/3/2023 - BottleScholar Does not like this wine:
The alcohol felt a little high and detached, unbalanced relative to the fruit.
