Had an initial whiff of alcohol and nutmeg (yes, I went through the spice rack to figure this out) that blew off after a couple of hours. Tannic and acidic, with notes of anise and dark fruits. Mellowed out considerably towards the end of the night. Overall, a steal at 7 bucks for a half bottle.

Very pleasant Bordeaux Superior -- the Merlot shows through wonderfully, with dark cherry throughout. There's a note of herb and anise, gentle, mouth-coataing tannins, and a nice, long finish.
Drink through 2015.

Last bottle of altogether too many after Phillies game
So not a real note...
Glad had the "sense" not to open anything decent

Not bad for the price. Went well with steak sandwiches. Licorice-y
