Surprising, with a solid acid backbone and fruit still hanging on. P&P, with a roast beef dinner. Still had enough zing to cut through the roast beef. However, has a lineal flat center, almost a synthetic undertone, which I somehow wonder if it got that from the synthetic cork they used? As with an earlier review, also noted some brett, which was a pleasant addition, making this almost (almost) Rioja-like. A great value when I purchased a case years ago, and glad a few bottles were hidden to try it again now. Interesting, but not meant to hold this long.

Last one! This one was a little madeirized. Not bad for its quality level and age.

Sadly, this wine is past its prime in 2023

Definitely some madeirization going on, but there is fruit -black raspberry, blackberry with hints of anise. Short-medium, well balanced finish.

Was better second day. Pretty full bodied round flavors, great depth. Pairs well with food.
