Not sure what the terrible reviews are about - this wine is still functional, with dusty cherry and marzipan on the nose, and cola gummibears on the palate, with a hint of cedar. Very smooth, almost flabby. Not a masterpiece or a 90+ wine, but very enjoyable. Certainly not getting any better, though. But still beats most things you could pick up for $20 today.

In it's decline with tertiary tones of earth and dried leaves on the nose. It's all red berry fruit, but eclipsed by earth and brush and a mossy quality that for me, detracts from the experience.
