Tasting notes
This wine has lasted far longer than I would have guessed. It has always been a tasty, mocha, root beer, and cherry-scented and flavored wine with medium body, a silky texture, and good fruit and flesh. It has taken on considerable amber at the edge and is just beginning to turn the corner and dry out. Drink it up. Tasted 13 times since bottling with consistent notes.
