This bottle was quite different than the one I tasted last May, more minerals, earthy notes, less fruit, not jammy or sweet, I even noted a bit of structure, two more bottles left.

Full bodied Bordeaux. They’re not supposed to be this good at this price point. Best a little chilled. Would buy again. Wonderful fruity after taste that stays with you.

Notes from second day. Bought at Trader Joe's during a snow storm where I needed a daily drinker type of wine. Dark plum, some cassis. Has some Bordeaux typicitiy. It's greatest draw was that it was the only Bordeaux at TJ's that wasn't 14.5%. But a good wine for the price.

Modern style, intense even by California standard’s, in your face dark one dimensional fruit, little structure or tannins, still a lot of bang for the buck.

Fruit driven without much backbone or depth. Decent QPR.
