Positives: good tannins, label reminds me of how much more balanced the previous vintage was Negatives: Very hot (15.2% ABV), too much spice and oak Attempts at aeration didn't help much. The TJ's Reserve line usually delivers value, so this was a massive disappointment.

Not bad, but not good. Simple. Needed to let it breathe to not offend J, but not a re-buy even at $10. Much better wines available at that price point.
