a good wine but not (no longer) to my taste: too oaky, too alcoholic, too clunkorama. might as well be australian . . . . (i opened it up after consuming the 4-day-old dregs of a nice cab franc from the loire and boy did i miss the cool clime . . . )

Just as an educational note, after opening this Saturday night and finDIng it way too oaky, I left (inadvertently) half the bottle uncorked over night, corking it Sunday midday. Tried the wine again Monday night and now it's a pleasure to drink. Very little aromatics but great pure fruit without being too sweet. Very tasty now, go figure.

Served too warm - wood too pronounced.
Cooked, stewed, overwhelming wood.
Serving temp critical
