  Okay for the price, but nothing special. Some smoke on the nose and rich fruit on the mid palate. But very simple and straightforward, and a bit heavy on the wood for my taste. Goes well with rich foods such as braised meets.

  Pleasantly surprised by this one. Time in the cellar has done it some good. The tannins have softened and the body has become better integrated and balanced. Still plenty of fruit on the nose and pallet with notes of candied cherries plum, and a hint of anise. The wine lingers on the pallet with a medium finish. All in all, a good value for the price.

  Dark with cassis, blackberry and a whiff of vanilla on the nose. Flavor resembles Port with some lip puckering tannin. Interesting, nice QPR.

  Dark fruit, mostly blackberries. Distinct earthy tones. A bit rustic but kind of interesting.
