February 6, 2015 - What a pleasant surprise. I think UpfromtheCellar (6/2013) captured it well. It is not a deep, complex wine, but it is very well-balanced with full, rich flavors. Great QPR @13.

June 26, 2013 - Wow, I loved this wine. I see several reviews from the same people stretching back over time and the change in opinion from nasty swill water to lovely and elegant nectar is remarkable.
As this is my first bottle, without prejudice I say: Very Very Nice! Bravo. It lacks a few layers of depth to take it any further up the rating scale but that's like saying a 20 foot deep pool is better than a 9 footdeep pool. Really, when you are swimming in it you can hardly tell the difference - your feet don't touch in either!
So apart from lacking depth, at 8 yrs its drinking spot on. I wouldn't save this for another 8 years but drink over the next 2-4 and you will be most pleasantly surprised. -
