Blind tasted. Color is dark ruby, medium concentration, med viscosity. On the nose I smell dark stewed fruit, moderate intensity, with minor floral notes. Oak is minimal. On the palate this is pretty straight forward, complexity is low, acidity is med+, tannins are medium, alcohol is medium, spice is med+. Oak is minimal on the palate. There's a harshness to this that I don't prefer. 86-87.

Nice, well balanced Bordeaux blend. Full bodied and smooth throughout. It's young, and lacks the complexities of some of the higher end blends, but it's solid. Decent value.

Nice blend that is not very heavy despite 70% Cabernet Sauvignon. Good summer sipping.

I'm somewhere in the middle of the other reviewers. Not a great vintage but ok.

Not a very good vintage of this wine. Not well balanced, too green/stemmy, and just not a super pleasant mouthful.
