Bought for 10 on closeout from a local independent shop about 2 years ago. No decant, bit of sediment in last glass poured. Medium purple; red fruit, some floral; grenache. Tasty. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.

Nose - earth, dark berry, toast, citrus, coffee Mouth- impressive attack which reveals its juicy red fruit in layers and waves, orange rind midpalate (per Arman), good complexity.

Tasted blind. Dense medium-ripe blackberry. Hints of smoked meat. Good minerality. A thread of bitter almond adds complexity. Rating: 89
Guess the wine: I don’t have a high level of confidence. I’ll go with GSM of some sort.
