If I were to rate this on night 1, I would have given it 85. Paired with grilled hamburger with blue cheese, and it had an offensive finish of dead leaves or musty clothes. I was going to dump the other 1/2 of the bottle, but decided to try it next day. Night 2 it was a different wine. I paired it with spicy sweet potato chili, and the wine was amazing. It was sweet with no offensive mildew on the finish. Either it improved after opening, or the pairing was spot on. Night 2 was delightful and I would give it an 89 or 90. I overall gave it 88 because of the disappointment on night 1.

Very fruity nose. Let breathe for an hour. Has a barry finish.
