  Delicious Bordeaux style blend. Full lush body, rich red flavors.

  Bright red fruits, quite dense, and plenty of acidity. This bottle came across as youthful and might have been more elegant with a few more years in the cellar.

  Well, it's big, and it's rather one-dimensional and unsophisticated.
  
  As I guess you'd expect, it's fruit-forward, mild tannins, a little acidity. I suppose it's really quite nice if you like the fruit-bomb style. But I really don't see it as an "outstanding" wine. It pulls and pours just fine, doesn't evolve much over the next couple of hours.
  
  I got it in a bin-end sale at US$45, which I feel is sort of pricey, but just about OK. At $66 (the community average value) I'd be a bit miffed.
