A bit closed and reticent on night one. Dark cherry fruit with a hint of alcohol and gylcerin and a somewhat clipped finish. Opened up a bit more on the second night with a bit more spice and a slightly longer finish. This bottle did not indicate any rush to finish these.

I think this was a 2016 that I had instead of 2015. Was a very nice wine I shared with family. Notes of chocolate and cherry and some vanilla and mint. Medium finish. Very interesting amd delicious

Started out strong with lots of red fruit flavors and spice with good acidity. After two hours in the carafe, it became rather one dimensional and boring. It lasted another day, but just barely. We decanted to help it open up and later we used our trusty Vacuvin for overnight storage. The second day was passably good. I don't think it has much to offer as a wine after this year.

Excellent. Drinking well. Deep ruby color. Berry nose. Balanced fruit and tannin. Too bad last one.

Tasty but a bit subdued- had the impression that this bottle was nearing the end of its drinking window.
