I loved this wine. I know it wasn’t the most highly rated wines of vintage.... but this was fantastic. Deep, rich wine, elegant. Dark fruit on palate. Subtle, subdued nose, but wow.

This is one that people have been complaining is a bit thin. I don't disagree. We enjoyed this though and while I thought it was atypical, I liked the rustic, easy quality of the wine.
