The wine was excellent right out of the bottle. I just poured it through a wine aerator. Soft tannins on the palate indicated that the wine has mellowed since I first tasted it over a year ago. I still have three more bottles. When I read the drinking window was until 2013 I was a little concerned and wanted to open at least one bottle. I am not touching anymore bottles for at least six more months. This is a superb wine to have with red meats.

Nice floral notes on the nose. Very fruity and somewhat harsh tannins for the first taste. Tannins became harsher with subsequent tastes. Not impressive for the price paid around $20 a bottle. Just slightly above average wine.

Very good wine. Sweet wine and oak barrel aging gives this wine good character. Hints of vanilla and berries. Tastes better after decanting it for 1/2 hour.
