  78? Consumed over 2 days. Day 1: So much smoke on the nose that I actually chuckled. On the palate as well you got a distinct smokiness. It was like drinking wine next to a bonfire. 30 minutes and several sips later it dissipated but was still noticeable. You can sense some decent fruit hiding underneath and trying to come out.
  Day 2: Not much changes. Perhaps it mellowed out a bit but not much.
  I'm not sure if it is even deserving of 78 points but that hidden fruit kept me coming back for a while.
  In the end I dumped 1/4 of the bottle.

  6/3/2015 - Nico P. Likes this wine:

  13.5%. Limpid medium red. Cola and red cherry, some vanilla, with a nice faint vegetal note. Not woody or smoky. A bit grippy, enough tartness to accompany a beef ragout, and a surprisingly long (30 sec) slightly medicinal finish. Drink now and over the next 2-3 years. A pretty good bottle, excellent QPR.

  There are decent aromatics and flavor under the smoke but the hollow mid-palette makes this not worth the discounted price.
