Yes, the big fruit is gone, but it remains (at least for tonight) an enjoyable wine. Nice nose, easy drinking bottle. Worked nicely with flat bread pizza and Kale salad. Drink up.

This wine was past its prime but still drinkable. Much of the fruit has dissipated, and the finish was somewhat clipped, but there was enough left to pair with the grilled onions, corn on the cob & steak.

Loads of raspberry and vanilla/cream on the nose. Very fruit-forward, but enjoyable. Only detractors: (1) the alcohol was a touch out of balance for me, and (2) not a lot of depth. That said, what this wine does it does pretty well.

Was impressed how this stood up an araujo eisele 99. I thought it was much better balanced and held on its flavors well after opening. The araujo seemed to fade. Always love Andrew Murray wines and this one did not disappoint. Loved it. Drink up though. Not going to get any better

Too old and oxidized, rusty-blood color, Cabbagy, dirty flavor, likely we will dump it. Past its prime.
