Didn't move the needle and I could barely drink a glass. Its just so new world. Thick, medium- syrup, balanced I grant you, but no life, no lift, no spark. Its like they tried to see how many "Rhone like" flavors they could cram into the bottle and in the process forgot that if you put everything in you get nothing out.

Popped and poured. Nose had a bit of funk on it, that never blew off. The taste was a bit dry and astringent, and although the fruit was nice and reasonably complex at the start, by hour two the fruit nearly disappeared. I don't think it was a bad/off bottle, but it likely was past its prime. Too bad, because I enjoyed the first bottle of this I had two years ago.

Full bodied, cassis, licorice, and tobacco. Delicious.
