This was more like 86 points when we first opened it -- a bit thin. It really filled out with some air, both on the nose and the palate, bringing everything into balance. After about an hour, hour and a half, it was more like 90 points. Decant and enjoy!

great aromas of blueberry, blackberry, black currant with smoke, tar, and briar on the nose. delivers smooth blue and black fruits on the attack with med-full body and plush mouthfeel. seamless structure that finishes with smooth and chewy tannins and a touch of herbacesousness and smoke. enjoyed the bottle thoroughly with a meal of duck breast and parmesan grits. wish i had more.

Way too acidic. This wine had no fruit, just acid water and alcohol. Very disappointed.

Lots of cherry and cranberry. Some currant and hint of anise. Nice wine at this price point.

it would appear that this bottle was corked. Very bitter and acidic.
