Ratings are probably about right. This is still pretty good on pop, if you like fruit bombs you missed the boat, but it has some more interesting nuances now. Dies after a day open though. I'll drink my last bottles soon.

My last of 5 bottles and my note from 4/2012 must have been from a flawed bottle. While clearly mature and at peak, this wine is still drinking nicely. Excellent with plank grilled Salmon and flavor profile of dark cherry, cola & some earthy elements. 89-90 range.

Decently pleasant but a bit weak on fruit, and over the hill by now.
Other bottles were better when younger.

Good QPR, perhaps lacks a little acidity for my taste
