Has really opened up in intensity and flavor over the past two years. What started out as a soft Chilean melange Bordeaux blend has shattered like a mirror into better lights of fleshy currant, blackberry, red plum, and a swirl of rich alcohol on the finish. Has ripened with aging with a touch of cassis and eucalyptus and French Oak on the the finish in a medium - full bodied profile. I like the richness and fruit of this wine....although a bit unraveled after two hours the wine is starting to denigrate. Enjoy now

Nothing special (and not too memorable as I can't recall enough what it tasted like to comment on it a day later) but still a decent wine. Better values can easily be found in this price range but you could do a lot worse, too. Meh...

Nice balance, still tannic with notes of dark berries. An excellent value after all these years
