This is for a 3 liter bottle. This wine benefited from the bottle size, based on a 750ml bottle consumed a few years ago. Everyone really liked this one. I wasn't sure how much longer the large bottle could be cellared, but it seems like you could push it a little longer. Everyone commented about how good it was, I didn't tell them I only paid $45 about 6 years ago for it.

From a 3ltr. This wine probably benefited from the bttl size. Taste has plenty of fruit and a decent amount of tannin. Nose of mostly dark fruit. Still surprisingly dark purple in color with just a hint of garnet in the rim. The table for 14 is set with 4 generic bttls filled with this juice. No one will ever know how cheap this stuff was.

Very pleasant. Bottle, maybe just a little past its prime. If you have a bottle, drink it soon!

An excellent wine still. May be better now than when younger. Smooth, tannins balanced out.

This is not my cup of tea. Thin mouthfeel. Favors seemed muted to me. This was a 3 Liter bottle.
