No numerical rating as this bottle is well on the down-hill side. However, the fruit that's left was enjoyable. The terriary notes consisted of cedar, licorice, slate, and a little wet earth. Seems the tannins never fully intergrated. For what it was, it was enjoyable.

The seond bottle of this wine which I drank 5 months after the first, seems like a totally different wine. Very nice, anise nose, silky tannins. Nothing like the rough sharp tannins from the first bottle.

I expected this wine to be a little too old, but I think I will save my second bottle for a couple more years. Unusual for Powerol, it has 10% cab, and the tannins are intense. They are mellowed to where they are not sharp on first taste, but a second after swallowing my tongue was plastered to the top of my motuth. Subtle flavor of cocoa.
