May 21st, 2018Classic, simple Bordeaux. Tight when first opened. Expressing wood, leather, chocolate and cassis. A solid value.

I probably drank this past its prime but I'm going to rate it anyway. It was dark and leggy with a relatively good nose. When I uncorked it the 2nd time, there was a spray of wine, as you can see on the bottle. I am unaware of the physics that caused this. I'm just glad I wasn't wearing a white shirt (or any clothes for that matter) at the time. Close call. Anyway, the wine was slightly better than the other reviews say it is. Case closed.

Smells like your typical inexpensive wine. Little bit of cedar and red fruit, maybe some tea? Tastes as it smells, though there are no off flavors. Bit of strawberry. Not bad, but not worth the $10 I paid for it. EDIT:MUCH IMPROVED WITH AIR AND BIGGER SIPS. Let it cover your tongue. More structure, though it’s still a little thin and bitter.

Nice simple Bordeaux, needs to breath and doesn't last.
