Apparently drank after end date (eg a 2008 drank in 2021) but it was really delicious , velvety. Only half the cork came out as it has partially disintegrated. drank w Katie (day 48, June 4, 2021).

Same as last time. Lots of jammy fruit, espicially blackcurrent on the nose. However, when it came to the taste there was almost nothing. For a Petite Sirah it really lacked taste and had almost no finish.

Un muy buen vino, si tomamos en cuenta la relación calidad - precio. Me pareció una buena opción como vino de mesa, y lo acompañé con pollo al curry (picante), berenjenas asadas con aceite de oliva, y couscous con pimientos verde y rojo. La verdad es que no planeé este maridaje, pero me resultó perfecto (comí en mi casa, y tanto la decisión de qué cocinar y con qué acompañarlo fue algo espontáneo). Me pareció una opción refrescante, tomando en cuenta que el clima nos estaba castigando con una temperatura de 32° aprox. Como nota curiosa: me fascinó el aroma que quedó en mi copa vacía; a pesar de ser un vino "barato", evolucionó desde que lo serví en mi copa, conforme lo fui tomando, hasta que la copa quedó vacía.

completely disagree with redknife, seems like he had a cooked bottle, which is quite common in Mexico due to the average temperatures. Very consistent with the 07 and very good value for the price. For about US$ 6 in Mexico I highly recommend it.

not much different from last bottle... decent to quaff after having a few, but old cola and ink.

a decent pop and pour, but absolutely brutal after being open a few hours. unpleasantly powdery/grit feel in the mouth, flat cola.

This bottle was a bit more jammy, like fruity marmelade, but not enough body to stand against. Still OK value.

Cough syrup smell and taste. Avoid it.
