Very good. Not outstanding, but warm and fuzzy. Wine celebrity = a good low budget french film about relationships (i.e. "My Best Friend"), not spectacular but very enjoyable and feels "good".

Decanted and consumed. Starting to lighten up at the edges. Faint fruit, grass and spice aromas. Fennel smell from last years trial is there too. Very thin profile with some fruit and tannins. Like last time, nothing irritating is evident - only the lack of components adding to depth or complexity are absent. While I gave this an 88 last time thinking it might improve, it has softened further and - while I think it tastes better today - I doubt this has much life remaining. For $20, still a good buy for everyday.

Very smooth and has some nuances that give it some character. Decant and enjoy right now.

Nothing left of this wine. Properly stored since release, but poured down the sink.

About 45 mins air time, not decanted. Seemed "fuller" than prior tastings, with more evidence of fruit.
