  Third bottle this year, two previous was more like 85pts based on a very misplaced acidity. This was decent, good balance and decent length but bland. Paired well with tomato soup.

  Lackluster nose. Weak entry, but satisfactory mid. Paired with food does not seem to improve the flavor profile. Limited finish. But we enjoyed this wine with dipping oil and Italian bread.

  Popped and poured at a Christmas party.
  
  Pours dark garnet with significant bricking at the rim. Looks older than 2012. At first it gave a strong whiff of musty funk, and pretty flat on the palate. I was concerned it was borderline corked, but my friends thought it was perfectly fine. After about an hour it finally came around and the funk blew off, revealing succulent warm cherry fruit and black olives and earth, with a surprisingly strong tannic finish. Glad I stuck with it.
