  A very nice blend, but it faded fast, about 16 hours from open.

  Good. Just entering its drinking window. I detect mixed black fruits, some floral perfume, and gentle but firm tannins; they were firm enough to accompany a grilled steak.
  
  While this was good, it was simple, lacking the complexity and minerality of the original Bordeaux blends it attempts to emulate. For the price, rather a low QPR.

  Russk. Nathan's Bx tasting at Café Italia. Nice liquid mouth of fruit. No jam. Volatile Aromatics. Reminds me of a good Portuguese red.

  Tannins have mellowed nicely. Fruit is still proudly displayed
