9/14/2015 - xxquadxx Does not like this wine: 69 pointsI'm a huge fan of Maroon wines. Their top of the line stuff is excellent. This was a huge disappointing mistake. It was decanted 6+ hours. I just don't understand how you can take grapes from the perfect '13 vintage and make this junk which is reminiscent of rubbing alcohol and a spoon of sugar added to it. Zero structure, no balance whatsoever and no finish at all - simply abysmal! I paid $20 for it - what I waste! Now I have 3 more bottles to give as "presents" to people who know nothing about wine.

I will wait (or try to do so) a few weeks to try another. If it is as "Bordeaux-like" as this one, I may rate it a 93 or more. This was mostly consumed along with a '98 Bordeaux and a 2000 Brunello at a BYOB great Italian restaurant, then topped w/Argon and re-corked and finished the next day. The nose was fruit-filled on day 2 and on the palate it was still characteristic of a well-made Bordeaux blend which would have likely cost 2-4 times as much. I have ordered more at $13.

2/18/2013 - mr21cbs Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark ruby color. Full body in the glass. The nose of red current, cassis, dark chocolate, and dried plums. Silky smooth tannins, deep and flavorful mouth feel. Good length. The wine is in its prime. Delicious!

2/10/2013 - Phredd Likes this wine: 92 pointsPale yellow in the glass with a hint of green, the nose is delicious sugared grapefruit, with nice florals, lemon grass, and a touch of pineapple. The palate echos those flavors with more emphasis on the lemon, but the herbal note is still prominent. It starts almost relaxed and rounded and a shade sweet, but the mid-palate shows a good acidic structure that easily balances. The finish is long and emphasizes the herbal quality, showing a pleasant bit of lemon pith bitterness. There is no trace of petrol or oil, here, and even the minerality is just sort of hinted at. But the fruit is pure and the wine is delicious from start to finish. I took pretty much a blind flier on this, and I'm very glad I did. This is very enjoyable and a clear win for $18.
