March 12, 2012 - Had I looked at the label and seen the 14.5% alcohol I would have gone to Plan B. I was looking for a relatively inexpensive wine that I could drink on an any-day type of basis. So far, no luck. Will see if it opens up over the next few hours. (a bit of the alcohol blows off so took to 85 from 83 but wouldn't drink this everyday - it's not bad - but can find better or maybe am partial to Napa Oak, there is very little Oak here which makes it taste different than much of what I drink - could improve with decant but popped/poured). I see Jay Miller writing for Robert Parker gave the wine a 90 -- so is a matter of taste. Think my taste is more fruit forward than this can deliver.
