The guy at my local shop gave me this and asked me try it because another costumer said it was bad. Not bad at all! I should probably pay him.
Earthy stuff up front, maybe that's what they didn't like. Soil and leather cover up the dark fruit. Super tannic, this needs to breathe plenty. But really good, and making burgers to go with it.

This wine was bottled the year the Beatles played Ed Sullivan.
The color is obviously a bricky-brown, but slightly maroon.
Faint nose- a little floral and a little damp.
Sweet strawberries right up front on the palate, followed by orange peel, mushroom, stewed tomatoes and a dash of balsamic. Puckery tart and acidic. Mouth watering. Tannins all gone, short finish. Very drinkable and fun to experience.

I DJ'ed a wedding last night and the groom gave me a leftover bottle of his favorite wine. Nice gesture! Other reviewers have said it has a light touch, and this is true. But it's lively and fresh. A red berry medley. Quick finish.

This is consistently one of the best things you can get for $38. Gave it plenty of air, and it opened up beautifully. Chewy cherries, leather, and crushed rock. I guess that's how I'd describe lots of Barolos, but this is a fine specimen. Thanks for reminding me @Tom Casagrande

I've had this before, and I'll say the same thing. Super jammy, almost syrupy. Blue fruit and nutmeg/Christmas spices.
