I was impressed with this last bottle. It's gotten better and betterwith age. Some brett apparent, but controlled and not overbearing. Intense and huge wine.

Rich and big flavors. $10 for this charmer at a local wine shop! Lots of saddle leather and complexity of nose and flavors that are opened up and ready. A very nice every day wine or more-quite the bargain. Head an shoulders better that the Ercavio which I have enjoyed at this price point. Plums, dark fruit, maybe licorice and certainly lots of saddle leathery goodness. I went for the 6 for $60 sale ($12 a bottle).

Brett more pronounced, but I liked it a lot.
