maybe 87 - is it cooking or a terrible wine as the latest notes state? No way, and think those comments are a little harsh. Give this 30+ mins decant - and comes off full bodied with tons of fruit (a little much, yes) but round with the needed "zing" of acid/tannin to give it some backbone. Dark berry fruit with mocha qualities...at this point is a good BBQ wine and served a hair cool - decent summer vino - or heartier winter wine. Price is above average, and not quite meeting QPR...25$ CAN in MB.

Meaty, peppery, red fruit nose. Sweet, jammy, vanilla and black fruit flavors that turn sweeter and jammier with air. Not for me.
