70 points at best. The wine was a rose red with a mixed fruit nose. The flavor showed off some nice berry fruit and there was a nice dry finish but the wine had a high VA that just didn't go away. It didn't taste of vinegar but showed a really thin and watery character with the acid...aeration or sitting did nothing positve. Bottle should have been drunk at least 5 years ago. I poured at least 1/3 the bottle out.

Better than it had a right to be - garnet colored - touch of barnyard on the nose - medium weight palate - perhaps a bit dilute - still some plummy fruit in evidence - tannins gone - pleasant enough

Lots of sweet red and black cherry fruit, but starting to thin out a little. Still pleasant, but time to drink up.
