Purple in color. Clear and bright. The nose is nice with black cherries and black olives. With air, some tart cranberries on the nose. Medium tannins. Good black cherry fruit on the palate. A bit clipped on the finish. Overall, this is in a good place and drinking nicely but with some maturity. Impressive at age 14. Easily seems like it has a decade left.
Purple in color, with ruby swirls. The nose has some volatile acidity but just a bit which serves to raise the aromatics in a good way. Cherries and dust. On the palate, this is less ripe than the other vintages in a comprehensive vertical. That is not a bad thing. There is still plenty of black cherry fruit with good acidity. This may be one of the longer lasting wines. Good finish. It is also quite food friendly at this point. Easily has a decade of good drinking left.
My first time trying this. I suspect that many who do give it the benefit of the doubt due to the name. Tasted blind, I was unimpressed. It's fine enough but mothing more. Pink/copper in color, clear and bright. The nose has strawberries with a slight decomposing fruit note. On the palate, this is think, light bodied with a slight strawberry notes. Dry. Slight tartness on the finish. 12% abv. This probably should be consumed over the next year. It will work better with food and would work with almost any food although the tartness might be an issue for a steak.
