WNH event number 4. Perfect Pizza Pairing bottles. Not a bad bottle in the bunch!

32yrs young and doing just fine. Needed some time to come out of its slumber but it sported sour red and black fruits with older tobacco and charred plum. Drink up. Nice

Fully oxidized and gross. Damn, birthyear wine gone bad. I feel old.

Currant fruit and bramble leafy notes. Fruit is fading leaving still astringent tannin and moderate acidity.

Still quite vigorous. Drying on the palate. Dark fruit. Slightly charred. Some sour notes and tobacco and savory stuff
