Found in a corner of cellar. Long gone. Down the drain.

Clear garnet color. Red cherry pipe tobacco on the nose. Palate of cherry and blackberry cobbler with a hint of tarry smoke. Medium body. Medium minus acidity. Medium minus tannins on mid- and back palate. A wee bit flabby (just this side) for my taste, but still a good accompaniment to the traditional tomato-based foods we Americans like with it.

Subtle and Smooth. Aged longer than expected but still enjoyable!

Clear garnet red with bright ruby-esque highlights. Full nose of cherry and cedar echoed on the palate. Very mild tannins and moderate acidity supporting a medium full mouthfeel. A smooth easy drinker with Italian or other tomato-based or Mediterranean fare. Doing surprisingly well nine years on (what a QPR!) but drink up by next year.

Clear garnet color. Cherry and cedar on the nose. Light body, medium plus acidity, negligible to no tannins. Cherry Ludens and a hint of mocha. Smooth mane satisfying with pizza or light Italian fare. Very good for the price. Drink up unless you're experimenting.

The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Fast. It smells like Raspberry. It tastes like Raspberry, and Strawberry. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Short.

Seems past its prime. Thin and flat, with little fruit flavor. Still, relatively smooth and lacking that acidic finish that sometimes develops.

Opened up my two remaining bottles, and they were well past their prime. Very thin, almost tasteless. Too bad since this was pretty good before.

Went ahead and killed my last solider tonight. Still quite fruity ... almost a tart apple or pear aroma. Quite a good Woot offering.

Still quite tasty. Down to one left, don't know if I'll actually drink it before year's end. Seems like it might have a few more months left.

Visually, the wine is a light ruby. Bouquet of cherry and fruit. Mouth feels as if the wine has been diluted, so it isn't very impressive. I'd drink this now if you have any left, even if it's been stored properly.

Continues to prove the trend of Woot Cellars wines being best 1+ year after release. LOVED this tonight. Drinking very well right now.

It's in a really nice place right now. A few minutes in the glass and the alcohol subsides and some mild tannins show up on the mid palate. Really long finish, bright rich fruit. Sadly, this was my last bottle. On a side note, I think this wine will age longer than I originally anticipated. At least another year, but it's really pretty right now -- perhaps the best it's ever been.

This is definitely peaking now. Beautiful flavor of cherry and vanilla. I would rate it a 91 now.
