Very light style and probably faded a bit after 12+ years. Strawberry, a little mushroom, and hint of blueberry. Still enjoyable and very drinkable but certainly past prime.

Different than a year ago. It has lost some crunchiness and tannin. Good but different. Not a lot on nose, simple but integrated on palate, dark cassis notes. Opens a bit with some air, a bit plusher, chalky minerality on nose, sweeter fruit, soft tannins. Decent quaffer for a meal but not much beyond that. Great price for quality though. Drink others soon.

This wine was la bit light and past its time. Despite this, it paired well with breaded Parmesan chicken. It was simple, smooth and somewhat elegant.

Last bottle. Still good and vibrant, not flabby, almost better second day, hard to tell. Still would probably drink this younger. Good value.

Past its peak. Was still good, but had no nose and flavor was soft. Went well with lasagna.
The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Fast.
