Based on the preceding comments, I was hesitant to bother. However, this bottle was better than the others I had tried last year. Nothing fancy at this point but some fruit left and the wine worked with dinner on a night at home. I make no promises about the next bottle.

Frustrating! I bought 3 bottles of this, of which the one was awful, one was not very good, and this one was really, really enjoyable. Nice fruit core, nice weight. I would gladly pay much more for a wine of this quality, if I could guarantee some consistency.

Of the 10 bottles that I opened, I enjoyed only 1. 8 went down the drain: far over the hill, and the last one was just barely hanging on to drinkability.
I would avoid this vintage at this time, despite the fact that the one good bottle in 10 was very pleasant, indeed. Succulent plums, nice tannins, good balance.

Knew it was bad from the first sniff after opening. Another bad bottle from lastbottlewines sales.

Starting to lose its fruit. Time to drink, and fast.
