To my surprise, in light of its age and the most recent CT comments, the wine was very nice from bouquet to finish: beginning with aromatics of cherry, plum and cedar, and ending with a savory herbaceousness that had been there from the first sip. In between, smooth round fruit and soft tannins with depth in the mouth and a complexity of flavors.

Quite pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this, given the mixed comments I read before opening a bottle. Good clarity in the glass: deep brick red. Slight pungency on the nose, followed by dark fruit, black raspberry and plum, with a hint of cinnamon and menthol. Similar in the mouth.Round and slippery on the finish. Delicious wine, and a great value at $20.

On the nose the wine displayed dark plum and cherry, some menthol, and a hint of tomato paste. It was similar in the mouth, but with the addition of a little herbaceousness. Terrific silken feel, with medium-long finish. Excellent complement to south Asian dishes.
