This wine has no ageability. Drank this when young and it was a delicious 89 point wine with loads of red cherries. Now it was oily and all over the place on the midpalette with no finish.

Smells like honey. Very fruity/sweet flavor, like prune juice. Pretty interesting wine for the price though it is a bit on the sweet side. Nice tannin level.

Not bad for $9; I'd be really happy if I got this for $5 like some of the others here. Nose was very floral with some honey. Honey on the palate, but not sweet, just the flavor. There is an odd interesting flavor on the attack I can't really place. Medium body without much finish. Definitely on the mark for the price as it's not a pure fruit bomb and the alcohol is balanced. Simple, easy, good.
