Bordeaux blend comprised of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon enjoyed over a four day period with food. Developing aromatics on the nose and palate showing chocolate, dark cherry, spicy red berry and green earthiness and herbs. Strong finish. A solid wine for $20 and still has a few more years of life.

Soft and soupy. Prune and raisin soup. Probably much better when it was a bit younger. Needs more structure to stand up to the dense ripe fruit. It is almost flabby.

So soft, wtf, give me power. Finishes too sweet, not enough acidity for the ripeness/sweetness of fruit. Jammy. Ok tannins, but they are too soft in relation to the abundance of sweet fruit and very little preceptable acidity.

Drinking very well right now. Likely still enjoyable over the next 3-4 years.
