No way yopu'd mistake this for the Profile or even the Reserve from this fine producer. Nice medium ruby. Simplistic nose of red fruits anda smattering of spice. Soft entry, medium center and a 3+ lapper finish. About at TTOIG. 84/88 19 by the box. 13.5% alc

Opened another last nite after the bubblies wore off. Still the same. Pleasant drinking and simplistic but no sock-roller. Same ole-same-ole'. WW

Had another last nite and seems to have moved up slightly on the nose and depth chart. Still no sock-roller but a mity pleasant drink. No change in scoring. WW (Put in the new "High speed modem" and my whole bloomin computer has been down for 2 days. Working splendiforusly now. WW"

Well shiver me timbers! This lil' gem done fleshed out and is now a focused cab with some credentials. Black & red fruits have some weight and the finish has gone from zip to zap! Take this lil' hummer up to a solid 87 and drink up. WW
