Bright red colour (note that wine bottled under screw cap). Mineral, fruit-stone rather than fruity, red rather than black. Palate is similar, very dry finish with nice tannins. Given the age, holding up really well.

This is a fairly fruity wine. The nose shows no depth or interst. Smells of burnt rubber and cherry. The taste is very fruity - strawberry and cherry. It is very fruit forward and does not show any character or depth. Okay with a meal. I don't think it is getting any better. Drink now.

A reasonable wine -- nothing big or dramatic. Interestingly, it did not change through the bottle. Often, such wines benefit from a little air time. I have two more bottles -- we will see. Don't think it will improve much with age.

I didn't like this wine as much as a thought I would, although I did think it had a fairly nice aftertaste.
