Tuesday, January 6, 2009 - Nothing wrong with this wine, just not that great. For $11, there are a million better bottles out there - although nothing from the 05 Bordeaux since prices have gotten STOOPID!

Slightly floral nose, dusty too with a little spice. Thin/watery wine. Tart acidity with some black cherry and chocolate. Tannins present, but they don't overpower the wine. This wine could be cellared for a few years to soften the tannins, but there won't be more fruit - so what is the use?

Decanted 2 hours prior to tasting. Didn't notice the alcohol the other reviewer did, could be the decanting.

This will be my last bottle, but it isn't a dumper.
