  Not good, had to use for cooking as we were unable to drink. Very earthy tasting but not in a good way.

  Tasty, chewy. Allowed to breathe for a couple of hours it improved and became more subtle and smooth. At first there was a mildly bitter aftertaste, almost of gasoline, which receded markedly over time.

  Good at this price. Dark red with long finish. Hints of cherry, blackcurrant and spice. Paired decent with Provencal veggies and prawns. I remember an earlier vintage being better.

  Somewhat light-bodied and not very flavourful, though I've been storing it in my wine rack rather than in the basement, so some of the lack of fruit is possibly due to less than ideal conditions. Some cassis and a nice amount of spice with some black cherry on the back end, but just too watery. This was after having it open for at least an hour, and it didn't seem to improve with an hour in the glass. Tried the Vinturi on it as well with a mellowing effect but still not good.
  
  Edited to add: I re-corked with some preservative gas and opened again 2 days later and it seems like a different wine. Pretty enjoyable stuff now with more body and better integrated. I bumped my score up a point.
