September 23, 2020 - A bit long in the tooth. Popped and poured. Still looks young, with no bricking on the edges. The taste, however, showed that it is declining a bit. Probably should have given it time to breathe, although it didn't seem to evolve over the two or three hours while the bottle was consumed.

April 20, 2020 - Flavorful wine, but the flavors are not very focused. Spicy, and also alcohol got away from them and somewhat hot. Medium length.

January 10, 2020 - Thick rich full bodied cherry fruit bomb. And we loved it. When the cork broke I feared the worst but it held the seal.
