Black label with yellow print (not to be confused the Napa bottling of the same winery) Wow! Gorgeous wine, especially considering the QPR ($20). Good acidity, big tannic structure. medium-full body. On the nose, Indian spices, black fruit, cloves. On the palette, tons of fruit but good firm, tannins and it doesn’t taste flabby at all. Generously oaked (I’m thinking American or Hungarian oak - not new) but not offensive or overdone. Medium length on the finish and good grip so still a lot of years of life in this vintage.

Couldn't get the 90 scores others got, too tart and a bit austere. A decent wine for $24 but not a buyer here.

Nice berry aroma, short finish, straight to the medium tannins. Oak, vanilla, fig. Drank with grilled steak. Smooth but not overpowering.
