First batch is in the cellar

[hotwine]

Decided to try one as a sipper this evening. A few months' bottle age has definitely been beneficial, with the fruit holding strong but the oak receding into background. Smells and tastes like a Syrah. Nice surprise. Suspect it will continue to improve for another six months, hold for a few more, then gradually fade off into the sunset. Won't use it for target practice after all.
