Pretty good. Has all the markings of what I expect here: dried flowers and fruits. Good spices. Medium bodied. Seems tired for a 2013. It’s good, just lacks the punch I was hoping for.

Just OK, had sort of a rustic charm but was lacking elegance. Dark ruby w/dusty cherry & violets, worn leather, but lacking acidity & rigidity - medium weight & drying on finish. It improved towards end of the night (but not by much)

Really good and from Costco - medium bodies, not too thin. Delightful!

17+. Sori Burdin. Very sophisticated wine, Burgundian with very different aromatics. Lovely with cheese.

Upon opening smelled of light tar and floral notes. Old fashioned root beer smell comes through in the back of the nose. Big tannins and acidity. Brick in color. Floral on the palette. After six hours in the decanter nose turned to mushroom and smoked meat. Earthy taste with still lingering tannins.
