My apologies to this wine. I have insulted it on numerous occasions on CellarTracker. This is the fourth and last bottle I have had over the last 3.5 years. The first bottle was practically undrinkable and had a chemical element. The bottles have gotton progressively better with time but none cresting the 90 mark until today. Quite good. A nice nose of berries and flowers. Taste of red fruit with nice acidity with a long finish. If I were to invest $15 in this wine again, I would hold it for 4 years before drinking. However, based on past experience, I can't say I'm willing to take that risk as cellar space is a valued commodity.

Not bad at all for such an inexpensive bottle of wine! Initially, very strong alcohol aromas, but these faded quickly revealing a more fruity nose with just a whiff of funk. Not memorable, but absolutely drinkable.

If it ever had a prime, it's long gone by late '15. Not possible to detect any positive or even distinct characteristics. Undrinkable. Drainpour.

A little too fruit forward for my taste, but a serviceable wine at the price.
