May 2, 2012 - Recent tasting notes indicated that this wine was gone. Apparently this bottle was a a cut above. Clearly not top shelf, but represented well for a $14 wine. Soft bouquet, balanced, decent but reserved fruit. Not for keeping any longer but pleasant tonight.

April 6, 2004 - Aromatic, cherry, chestnut, leather, red apple, clove and cinnamon nose. Medium-bodied and elegant palate; fresh acid, medium tannins, long complex finish.
