Thin, acidic, unbalanced. Very sorry I bought this wine. Nothing like the reviews.

Great herbal notes. As you would expect, nothing like today's fruit bombs. Wonderful wine!

Drinking remarkably well. I didn't know how we'll this would age as the varietal composition was unknown, but this was delicious.

Mediocre when first opened, but improved quite a bit in a couple of hours. This might actually improve with more time.

I've had this before and thought it was almost undrinkable. This bottle was much better.

Very nice. At it's peak, and will probably stay that way for a few years.

Very good, but much too young. Needs at least another 5 years. Ratings should improve considerably with more age.

Big is an understatement for this wine. Alcohol is obtrusive. Interesting to taste, but it completely overwhelmed the excellent prime rib it was supposed to accompany.

Mature wine. Great nose! Loved it, but don't think further aging will improve.

Cherry notes with bright acidity. Improved as time went on. Still needs more time before it's fully developed. Not for fans of lush, big, high alcohol pinots.
