Still an 88 for me, but maybe an 88.9. Maybe this just needs some time. Not sure I have the patience to let it go though. We shall see, one bottle left.

I give up. I was thrilled to get six of these for $15 each, but the thrill turned to disappointment as soon as I tried one. Stunning lack of structure with the first five bottles. Naturally, the sixth and final bottle was just fine, with really nice balance. Since tannins typically fade with time, I'm more confused than usual. In any event, this, my last bottle, was a nice, solid cabernet and a helluva value.
Ok my interest is now sparked. After two days of being open this wine finally got some walla walla aromas and flavors, however slight. Two more bottles to go and I’m going to forget about them for a few years.

Apparently I didn’t follow my previous statement of waiting a few years. Tonight it’s was just ok.

OK; a tad musty that blew off after a bit. Just OK
