Sight-clear, deep, purple, opaqueness at rim, light tearing, no gas Nose-delicate nose, vanilla, some anise, slight ripe red fruit, no minerality, whiff of pine cone Palate- off dry, plain red fruit, low acid, low tannins, med- alcohol, low complexity, pretty thin, tolerable, but wouldn't go out of my way to find. Won't get better with age. 80 points.

Not great, but okay - a lot of alcohol on the nose (surprising amount even for a 14.0% wine) some excessive bitterness that overrides the fruit, but a nice bit of licorice on the finish that sneaks up on you.

Okay, but not interesting. Pretty much what you would expect at this price. One note taste. Still fruity. Drinkable, but not worth buying.

Thin and not much going for it.
Okay, better on day 2 and 3 so I 'upgraded' it.
