Hot smoky misty nose. Dense fruit on the palate, black cherry, berries, plum, soft tannins, maybe a bit flabby, definitely a drink now wine. short to medium fruit finish, oak subtle and not overbearing. Quite enjoyable for $10.

The last one I had was better. This seemed like it was a bit corked. The finish was very hot. ALthough you could still taste the berries and a bit of oak as well.

Seemed slightly corky? More of a musty old cellarness than wet paper. It was still very tasty...in fact got better as it opened. The spice came out quite nicely. I would say there was some corkiness...but I am very tolerant to tca, and it didn't take away from the wine imo. Just added a damp cellar note, which I kind of like!

Blueberry and smoke on the nose. Plum flavors with maybe a touch of white pepper on the medium finish. A very enjoyable wine for $11. Salud!

Very enjoyable, esp. for $10. Full-bodied and a crowd pleaser.
