This wine straddles the fence between Excellent and Outstanding. If you're just drinking it w/o food, it would not rate above 88, but with food (especially pasta) this wine shines (90+). It pulls the flavors out of the food and complements them extremely well. Good buy.

Dark red color, starts to get bricky at rim. Seems mature. Very nice legs. Firm smell, a little closed (but bottle just opened) clear black berries, maybe a hint of blackcurrant (the Cabernet S) but clearly in the background. Smooth at the start, quite sweet and warm in the middle part, and a decent/long after taste. A very nice wine, mature now and will not improve significantly in the future. My last bottle - looking forward to the next glass.

Surnommé la 'cannise de poussière' au début de la soirée dû à son odeur louche, ce vin a évolué beaucoup au cours de la soirée pour en suspendre plusieurs. Sans être le plus remarquable il est passablement agréable et classique. Très bon rapport qualité-prix Suggestion : Carafer 1 heures et plus

This seemed to be past its prime. It still had some body at opening but it went quickly. Drink up.
