10 years from vintage date and it still has great notes to please both the olfactories and the buds: namely cassis, blackberry, and spiced blueberry; it's dry and still tannic on the palate but that fruit raises it up a notch and the finish goes for the throat with a pleasant combination of cinnamon and black cherry. Still a great bottle of wine.

What a great value...can't be beat in the sub-15$ range, in my opinion.

Saved this for the fun of it. Not bad for a less than $12 bottle wine that is 9 years old...
