must have had a flawed bottle - tasted like questionable homemade wine. overripe, turpentine and other chemical aromas were very pronounced, followed by a strange, disjointed, pruny sensation on the tongue. undrinkable.

Assumed this would be well past its peak but was pleasantly surprised that it has held up. Plum on the nose. Dark jam flavor with a syrupy finish. Not my favorite but enjoyable nonetheless.

What happened to this? A bottle consumed a year and a half ago was pretty good and at least contained fruit and structure. This one was dilute, void of fruit, and a total mess.

This is an unremarkable wine that is just simply drinkable. Super dark, almost too dark when the wine hits the glass. Has a funky nose to begin with but begins to open up somewhat with air. Some hints of berries and fruits, but overall a very backward wine. Not awful but certainly not worth the $35 price tag I paid for it.

Still drinkable. Overall impression - cherry bomb. Big explosion of cherry immediately on the palate. Not my kind of wine.
