  February 13, 2021 - Bought 6 exactly 8 years ago. Drinking the 2nd time. $11.99. Nice tannin. Dark berries and a little spices. Good price and quality ratio but not anything big time. It is a WS 90. More like an 87. Good structure for this price. Still nice and bright color. Medium to medium light. Not a bit too old. My cold cellar has done a nice job holding this wine. No longer herbaceous and green.

  August 13, 2019 - Bought from WTSO. Still had a couple bottles in the wine cellar from a buy long ago. Definitely at the end of the drinking window. Needs to be decanted. Tastes OK, but definitely past it prime drinking window. For a budget wine it survived longer than I thought it might.
