My oh my -- was this bottle tasty! Cork barely tinged. Poured out with a fresh looking, clear deep ruby. Inviting aromas. Then sweet fruit riding a recessive bitter note. Caressing mouthfeel, with just enough acidity to keep it lively. Unobtrusive tannin. Not at all rustic. And a fantastic value for what it delivers.

A slight bit of leakage was concerning, but I couldn't detect any resultant issues in the glass. Bright, clear deep red. Alluring nose. Very cherry upfront, with a rich texture, good acidity, and fully resolved tannins. A very enjoyable bottle, and such a deal for what it delivers.

Last of six, and singing. Light body, slightly smoky, flavorful, and a great red with light appetizers. Will look for more current vintages. The funk of the earlier bottles has blown off, leaving a very pleasant and unusual quaffer; very easy drinking, enjoyed by all.

We two had different reactions to this bottle. One of us, having had a nibble of parmigiano before, thought it very full and complete; the other found some mildly objectionable barnyard elements to the flavors.

Strong showing from my last bottle. A little browning, but still a good dose of fruit and heightened aromas. Nice balance.
