  It’s been a year since I opened my last bottle. It has lost some character since then but still a very enjoyable wine. Tannins are slight, very little smoked meat and earthiness, the finish is short but pleasant. Drink now.

  Drinking very nicely at this point; juicy fruit profile along with a bit of smoke and licorice with a very pleasant, soft lasting finish. Would buy another case if I could find some....

  What a nose - black pepper, smoked meat, black olive, and raspberry all vying for attention. Modest on the palate, with blackberry and tobacco up front, followed by a light sanguine note and a grippy finish.

  Dark blackish garnet colored, full bodied, intense concentrated black fruits of blackberry and ripe plum, layers of smokey barbecue and creosote, black pepper and notes of licorice and what WineAdvocate called "caramelized meats", approachable despite its tight structured core and firm tannins - ideal accompaniment to barbecue and smoked cheeses.
  
  Wine Advocate gave it 91 points. I might have rated it higher had the fruits been more predominant opposite the non-fruit notes.
  
  Good QPR (quality price ratio) at $20.
