  If you have this bottle, drink it soon. The cork disintegrated when opening. Was worried the bottle was past its time. Strained the sediment and aerated several times then decanted for 5 hours. This did the trick, the nose was sweet and had a hint of craisin. The mouth was smooth with dark cheery and vanilla. The finish was silky smooth. It just got better over the next couple hours with a big thick strip steak on the grill.

  One of the better more inexpensive wines we have enjoyed so far. Great nose, great taste.

  Wow! This was much better on day 3 (90 pts) than it was on day one (87 pts)! It took me by surprise how good this wine can be... especially for the price I paid ($10)!!
