Aleksander, Paso Robles, Reserve, Red 2016 Fortified Black currants92 Points CellarTracker Member Wine is starting to show itself. Tried it 5 months ago and thought it was slightly above average with a lot of sharp edges, even with an hour decant. Now, the tannins are becoming more integrated. Really, really nice on the second day. Had it with a grass fed new York steak salad with onions cranberries and walnuts. Made the meal special and stood up to the strong flavors Deeply layered red fruit, no sugar, peppermint
