Starts with a mouthful of dark fruit but ends quickly with very dry taste. Much better with food. Had this with a homemade meat loaf and liked it much better than when I first tasted it without food. Great value at $10.

Leinike nailed it. Fading fast...it has faded into bland easy drinking red with no spice, no challenge, approaching a $30 red now. There was a time CT suggested waiting until 2026 to open this. But fading fast! Drink it tonight if you have some. Hope you enjoy more than I did. PQR negative tonight for me!

I think corked, no fruit flavor, wet dog smells. Yuck! Second bad bottle. Wonder if I bought a fake wine.
