Rustic color. Fig and sour fruit. Good grip on finish. A little bit of bbq notes.

Un sabor fuerte sin ser un sabor ácido. Mucho cuerpo y gusto a especias. Excelente para una noche romántica.

Regular, table wine. Not much development of flavor, with tannic edge. Very soft hints of tomatoe, strawberry. A blend that feels more like watered down Pinot.

3.0 Nice smooth Bordeaux, but with little distinctive nose or taste. On sale for $11.39, regularly $14.99.

Almost disappointing, light fluff on opening; after decanting 40 minutes or so this opened up and revealed cooked plums and figs on the nose and palate. Medium weight and a rather short finish but a nice value Bordeaux from my local purveyor for $15.99 (2011 vintage) Would repurchase again.

Very dry, but good with heavy meal. Bought at cellars. Ok to buy again if on sale. Tag price $ 15.99, but received 27% off.
