Stewed fruit and out of balance acidity. This wine tasted like it was well past its prime, but what do I know? I am an unabashed Franco-vino-phile and this was not in my wheelhouse. Still, a major pass, but there is likely none left out there...

Ruby in color. This wine was disappointing. I struggled with the first glass and then decided life was too short and opted for something else. It had some nebiolo notes but was tart and out of balance. I think it was probably past prime, but I would have thought this had more life left in it. Some cherry fruit, but really sharp acidity.
