Decanted approx. 1 hour, consumed over the next 2 hours. Ruby red, clear throughout. Nice nose of stewed plums, tobacco, cedar. Fairly light weight wine, not much going on. Light-medium finish, medium acidity. Decent, but lacking fruit on the palate.

Sweet chocolate on the nose with some fruit in the background. On the palate had soft fruit. Body was medium. Lacked complexity and seemed dilute. Finish was short to moderate. Only 30 dollars so you get what you pay for but would have liked to have seen more extraction and depth of flavor.

Barnyard funk upon opening. Not much fruit showing. Acidic on the finish. May be past it's prime.

Undrinkable swill - possibly bad bottle.

Decanted for two hours. Brought out the fruit/berry flavor in the wine. Smooth, great with a steak. Nice, although not long, finish.
