  It's just wine. Not young, not old, not undrinkable, but no compelling flavors from the time in bottle or hints that they're coming. Meh.

  Orange, leather, dark berries, cavaillon melon, and some barnyard funk balances with tannic astringency. Not a great wine; but, a very pleasant quaf for a mere $11.
  
  I will buy some more and stick them in the cellar for a great qpr ten years from now!

  This is not a great wine. Yet, with patience (popping a 2009 in late 2017) it is a worthy drink, certainly punching well above its class for an $11 bottle.
  
  Orange, dark berries, cavaillon melon, leather, a little bit of barnyard funk balanced out with tannic astringency.
  
  I will be purchasing more of this wine, putting it in the cellar, and awaiting the moment... with patience.

  Aromatic smell of dark berries and a hint of old milk.
  The wine looks crimson colored.
  Taste: wood, pencil.
  Sunny. Easy drinking. Worse on day 2.

  Um dos campeões do custo benefício! Sempre confiável! E em muito boa forma aos 6 anos!! Vermelho rubi escuro com evolução ao granada. Aromas que remetem a puras amoras azedinhas e ameixas passas em calda.. Na boca, seu ponto alto, é encorpado, mastigável, com taninos "empoeirados", sabor de frutas maduras bem contrabalançadas com uma decente acidez.. Final razoavelmente longo! Creio que seja melhor apreciado dos 3 aos 7 anos.
