All these years later, its still delivering good red fruit, surrounded interesting notes of garrigue and spices, with only a tiny bit of bricking. What a value.

This wine is probably past its time, so read this review with that in mind.
Nose is raisin, old plum, jelly.
Taste is surprisingly fruity, it's opening up quickly. There's a muddy plum on the end of the palate, however, and maybe tart raisins. I can taste the alcohol, but it isn't overly astringent. The finish leaves a filmy texture on the tongue.

Big expressive red fruit nose. Spicy, cranberries, cherries, undiscernible tannins, and a medium long sour cherry candy finish. Not getting any better, so drink up.

Still plenty of red fruit, with lots of subtle spices, especially on the finish. This was enjoyable and didn't feel "old".
