Decanted. Weird experience over 2 days with this wine. First night was a rather muted, translucent wine that was light in body -- kind of boring. Day two the fruit came alive with a velvety mouthfeel but the wine was cloudy and filled with particles. Never has this happen before.

I really liked this. Full on, rich, sweet fruited and soft in texture. Didn't seem hugely typical of the region and lacked a little complexity but so what, it was seriously tasty

dark wine, overall impression is past peak, nose shows dried flowers and cherries, the palate shows dried red fruits and mineral, not much left in this bottle, but drinkable and pleasant

Did not really open up for me over three days. At the end, it softened some and the fruit came through some. Tight and unbalanced early. A bit flat to me.

Weird bottle with lots of fine sediment that made it cloudy. Soft with faded purple fruit. Not much structure left. OK but probably way past prime.
