  Mid length finish, oaky, but waning.....fruit still abundant, nice match with beef for everyday.

  Ripe dark fruits. Unbalanced with high alcohol on the finish. Tannins are soft and weak and don't offer much of a backbone for the fruit, which are overly ripe for my taste. The acidity does help a bit. Overall, tastes like it costs to me - relatively cheap.

  Pretty good, nothing overdone, but a little stemmy perhaps? After about 45 minutes this seems to come together a little bit. Nice acidity, good food wine.

  For an inexpensive wine, this showed nice body and structure, with a well-defined bouquest of dried cherry, brandy and herbal accents. The palate had more cherry and cassis with grainy tannins.
