Last bottle. Held onto it to see how it aged. Reddish color starting to show some browning. Earthy, leathery funky nose. Muted notes of sour cherry, earthy/leather tannins. I'd say this is past its prime and on the decline. Drink up.

Classic tuscan smell of earth, leather and sour fruit. Tannins are pronounced...pretty long finish for as sub $10....very tart, cherry core. Easily worth $9....much better than cheap, one-dimensional CA cabs at this price. Would buy again.

great QPR for $9! offers plenty of dark cherry fruit and dark chocolate on the palate, with a good mouthfeel, albeit a short finish and a little one dimensional, but very nice and fun. can't beat it for $9.

Soft dark red fruit with smooth earthy/leather tannins. Age has been good to this wine.
