90 Points

Sunday, February 14, 2010 - Not a lot of love for this wine on CT. No wonder as its billing is a little cheesy. However, for the $16 I paid, I really like what I got. This is a big wine (not huge, but big), with enough oak to satisfy my building needs. I gave it a 2 hour decant: Red berries and some black pepper on the nose. On the palate this is quite concentrated still, and the acid levels are a tad high. I did not find the tannins overly intrusive, though they were certainly present. Given time, I think the various components will integrate and develop into quite a pleasant wine. I won't open another bottle for at least a year, though.
