neutral on this one... completely nondescript. it wasn't unpleasant like the previous bottle, which must've been a dud. this one was drinkable, just not memorable or remarkable.

this particular bottle seemed to be over the hill. not great on the open. not great with aeration or time. tried it across the span of several nights, and night two was "best" even though the wine wasn't drinkable. no specific "bad" quality, just spent.

Really good value. Dark fruit and minerality. Maybe a touch of menthol or eucalyptus, but nice cassis fruit also. Nice balance of fruit and tannin. Significant sediment at the end of the bottle. Again, a really nice value. I think it improved 30-45 minutes after having been opened.

Hard to judge as it was the second bottle of the night, seemed a little thin but showed some true can colors on the finish, will drink the next one on its own

Bright with more heat and pepper than I remember. Went well with bbq chicken.
