#999! This wine is in a perfect place. As my astute wife said, 'very drinkable.'
Medium brick/ruby. Aromas of classic OR PN, slightly peppery/stemmy, red cherry liqueur, warm soil. Medium bodied, with fully resolved tannins. Ready to go with mushroom pizzas

Much better this time around. Fruit has faded a bit but comes back around on the end. Nice tobacco and earth on the entry which re-emerges on the lingering finish.

CVed 8/29/17 3 Pinot comp. Very new world floral nose with red fruits and cherries and nice color. Medium body balanced and long finish of acidic yet floral notes. The lightest and most new world typical of the three. Good value from JR MYSTERY for $14.

Color of light burgundy, with a bit haze and slightly brown purple note on the rim. Nose of anise, some black peppers, and sweet berries. Taste of refreshing sweet strawberries note, cola, black pepper note, smooth, some black tea, and a bit spice from alcohol. Aftertaste is a bit flat with lingering tea and sweet flavor, medium short, low tannins, bittersweet zest like grapefruit, and not too much of character. It is round and smooth though. Overall, it is pricey in my opinion, judging on her WOW factors and complexity.
