12/10/2010 - tnttoo wrote: 88 pointsThis is a rating across 5 bottles, bought 24 in 2007 @ $9.75 per... it is a $10 wine. Sometimes makes it to $15-20 height - when it is thick, rich, chocolaty, dark fruit, and soft tannins. Is a $5 bottle of swill when it is all oak & alcohol. Too much bottle variation to recommend this as anything but a "drink it when you want a red & aren't picky" wine. Really is a 90 on a good bottle, 85-ish when it isn't. So far, had 3 good & 2 not. |
