Nice soft and smooth wine — 12 years ago
Purchased it on its release and brought it with me from Wisconsin back in 1999. The wine is holding out but at the tail end, pepper, bell pepper, leather. Lovely soft finish. — 11 years ago

Soft, delicious — 13 years ago
Color is a burgundy red or Crimson but around the edges there's a rust colored halo because this is about 10 years old. We are drinking it in 2014 but it was bottled in 2004. The Aroma is a metallic one but rich iron or rusty, and something like a very dark black cherry. The flavor: it's a rich dark powerful wine with strong tannins, and The mouth feel is cool and soft; no identifiable fruit flavors on the tongue but instead tar or earthiness, with a little spiciness, and it's astringent leaving The mouth dry. Tail is dry and characterized by tannins. — 11 years ago

Aroma is quite pleasant and strong, of roses.
very soft on the palate with a light strawberry sweetness at the start followed by medium tannins in the middle and in the tail. The tail is quite long and a bit like strawberries. Because it's fairly dry and has solid tannins it tastes a bit like dried strawberries but ones that have been on the vine a long time, dark and super ripe and high sugar content. The tannins gradually intensify and this seems to bring with it a spiciness. This wine is excellent, despite not having much complexity or many layers--it accomplishes this I think by having a few delicious flavors paired with great balance and subtlety. The flavors and aromas are all quite similar to roses, strawberries, cherries, and similar foods, so easily identifiable and likable. — 11 years ago
