  A random pull from the cellar. Decanted 30 minutes before first pour. Could smell an immediate funk right out of the bottle, but by the time we put it in glasses it was gone. Deep garnet coloring, medium to full body, firm tannins. Not complex, but had a nice black fruit component on the nose and palate. Basic but enjoyable for a $10 bottle. I don't see things getting better, so we'll drink the remaining within the year.

  Don't think it was supposed to be a sparkling wine. Down the drain it went.

  Drinkable, not bad. Kind of blah...went looking for another bottle in preference to finishing this one!

  This is a great bargain. Showing some of the underlying tones of port, but without the sugar. The oak, spices and red fruit dominated. A little bit hot, but was really enjoyable.
