Discovered in the back of the cellar, was pleasantly surprised -- balanced nicely over time, a little bitter on the finish, but still has some life in it. Not too complex, but some structure, about what you'd expect from this price point, and just fine with pasta or burgers. Glad I found it.

A very distracting amount of alcohol on the nose. Came across quite brash on the palate and seemed young. This wine benefited greatly from extended decanting. Only then was I able to pick out the caramel notes and a brown sugar finish that I actually liked quite a bit. Overall a pass for me though.

Somewhat acidic and bitter. Perhaps past it's prime.
