I've had a number of vintages of this wine. On release it is bright ruby, spicy CDR, and inexpensive. I've kept bottles for years. Upon opening, it still seemed young even, but picks up with nice slight aged aromas. Never stellar wine, but I am a fan, especially with some good age. Sometimes it is surprising how good inexpensive wine can be if it has good cellar time on it. Last bottle :(

Interesting wine. Poured red with a slight brown tinge. Not as dark or purple as the new world reds I've been drinking. Not a lot of fruit on the aroma or the taste. Very mild tannins as well. Either this wine is very subtle, or just not a lot going on. Probably the latter.

Brick red. Booze and vegetables on the nose and palate, spicy. No fruit. A little stemmy tasting, not very good.

Rather bland, very little taste profile, drank a couple of glasses and then poured out
