Needed a lot of time to open up... Perhaps due to the age. Liked by all in attendance. Due to age it didn't open up into its full bouquet as it did when we tasted this @ the winery. Taste was fruit, with a finish of smoke, and berries again.

Some funk, worn leather, black cherries and rubber on the nose. Hints of vanilla and smoke are also there if you look closely. Med. body, med. acid, and med. tannins. The fruit is starting to fade....drink up.

I really like this and for $15, geez what a deal. Milissa gave me this bottle and the other I've had. No real notes other than nice balance, nice spicy nose, and smooth on the palate.

I do not have detailed notes for this tasting. I drank the bottle with dinner, and I remember a tasty very Bordeaux like wine initially, but it moved into a very nice place after about an hour of decanting. I will buy another for sure.

Good everyday wine - soft on the palate, opened up nicely in 30 mins.
