I liked this wine, but I think it's getting near the end of it's life. Somewhat subdued flavors of honeysuckle and tropical fruits. Very creamy with a medium length finish.

drank out of the bottle at restaurant; slight tropical nose; unctuous mouth feel, but a with some vegetal and woody notes; stood up to crab cakes and sweetbreads

Rarely do I ever dump a bottle of wine down the drain. I usually try to find some way to put it to use -- either as a marinade or to deglaze a pan. But this wine was pretty dreadful, and I was hard put to want to taste it again. Begins with some pretty aromas of sweet canned peaches, honeysuckle, and bubble gum. On the palate, however, any hint of sweetness or fruit is gone -- just very unpleasant and bitter flavors. I took two sips, and into the sink it went. A disappointing wine, to say the least. Based upon the other negative reviews on CT, I would have to conclude that this wine is not flawed, just not very good. 82 points, because it smelled nice.

Interesting nose, but not what I would call inspiring. The finish is also a bit too funky, but I liked the approach and mid-palate. Well balanced.
