A great value bottle. The last of a case, and definitely at the end of its prime drinking window. That said, there was ample fruit in the nose and on the tongue. The tannins were gone. Not much complexity, but certainly enjoyed.

This is a really nice wine for the money. Aromas of cherries, plums and a touch of tobacco are followed by more plum and berry on the palate and what appears to be just the slightest hint of green bell pepper (Montery County Bordeaux varietals). This is medium weight and very supple. Drinking very well right now and likely to get much better. This held up very nicely on day two.

Drinking great. This was probably one of the better bottles of this that I've had. Plums and dark cherries. Low acid. Not a big finish, but good intensity. Drank well over two days.
