Needed a few hours to show- and then the window was rather small for optimal enjoyment. Strong up-front palate biter- and maybe that’s just the age showing. It did drink well on day 2, but was all but cooking wine after that. Very ripe cherry, typical Tuscan-esque complexity with nice little nuances of… cardamom? Not exactly sure. It was a good bottle. Would have likely been better to drink last decade. I still have a 2008 & 2011 Naga, so maybe those will show a bit better. I still have high hopes for the 2010 Judith.

Bought because of label. Drank over a few nights with daughter. Fair ‘utilitarian’ wine. Better after a day’s aeration, but always a bit… bitey. Plenty of fruit, though. Was looking for Intrinsic as a table wine, but tried this. Won’t again, but for $15, it is just fine. 87*

Way past it’s prime. Lost any nuance- was drinkable; better after a long decant and on day 2-3.
