PnP. Cloudy cranberry color. Nose shows some black and red fruits, not much more. Very primary on the attack, with some cherry and plums, not much oak. Midpalate hollows out, but some fine tannins kick in on the medium finish. Not a bad wine at all, worth the price. Tannins might give it some time to develop some more interest, but right now a basic pleasant sipper. 5+11+16+6

Better than I expected, holding up pretty well 12 years in. Still not much complexity, but pleasant and reasonably well balanced with decent black/red fruits offset by soft tannins and a little acidity. The high alcohol noted years ago has receded and the over-oakiness has mellowed. 5+12+16+5

Unscrewed and poured. Light ruby color, clear. On the nose, flinty earthiness and spice with strawberries and cherries. Palate follows seamlessly with intensity on the attack, with red fruits, spice, earth and nicely balanced acid and tannins on the medium/long finish. This is really good wine - I have paid a lot more for a lot less. Highly recommended. 5+14+17+8.
