I know it wasn't meant to age for 16 yrs. but that was perhaps the wine with the least character that I have tasted in the recent past. The nose smelled like wine, the palate tasted like wine. Nothing wrong, nothing pruny, but no flavor at all. Interesting. Maybe like drinking wine with Covid. Oh no....

Tried in three phases. First out of the bottle it was very bright/pungent, almost too much. So, I ran it through the Vinturi which made it very nice with a nice finish. Not sure it complemented the meatloaf and spaghetti that was for dinner, but it was good nonetheless. The final phase was perfect. I let it sit for an hour in the glass after running through the Vinturi. The wine became very smooth with pleasant fruit at the end. I liked it very much but might need a bit more time (as evidenced by the Vinturi use and letting the glass sit).

Really pure cranberry - so much so that it almost seems like its carrying a little RS, but that vanishes when you pay attention. Easy to drink, great with our roast chicken and potatos.

Ran it through the Vinturi and it was perfect this time around. No extra sitting in the glass required.
