Somewhat improved vs. the last bottle but still a bit bland. Nothing to complain about, just missing some character. Nice enough with a burger or similar. Quite soft, missing some structure; hard to pin down the notes beyond generic red.

Pleasant "hamburger wine" when opened (with a burger of course); second night it seemed out of balance; a little too much oak, fruitier, less full bodied. Seems odd; maybe this bottle?

As with previous bottles, nice "hamburger wine" when opened; good balance, nice red fruit, medium+ body. On the second day, not as well balanced; more off notes from oak?

Initial impression when PnP: oaky on both nose and esp. finish. But blew off after 30 minutes or so and left a very pleasant wine. Fruity nose (mainly red) and a soft but not flabby palate (held up well with a burger) that had a mix of red and dark fruits. Really nice overall for a daily type of wine.

Pleasant but little character; OK with burgers but nothing else going on. Disappointing compared with previous vintages/purchases.
