(Notes upon opening) Medium deep ruby color, meniscus is clear. Nose is closed, bramble and grape must notes flutter about. Tannins are fine and moderately firm. Slurp is medium weight and hinting at complexity, with fruit and herb flavors evenly balanced. I expect this wine to be more demonstrative in an hour or so.

Seems the perfect example of Suckling scores too high to justify. Weak fruit, no depth or complexity. Drinkable, but only acceptable if you're not sober

Unappealing. Some funk on the nose and a tired fruit flavor. No idea how it got a high JS score. Not a pleasant wine.
