Bright and wonderful nose with a liquor like hint. Nice dry earthy finish. Damn good for $20

Some kind of weird funk on the nose. Can't say I loved this wine.

Very modern approach but too oaky for my taste... This does blow off after time in the glass

Amazing as always. The 2010, however, is just past its prime. Drink it if you have it.

Having this one 6 years after the last time I had it. Leather nose that gradually dissipates. Plenty of bell peppers, raspberries and soft tannins. Nose is distinctly the smell of a old bookstore. Burgundy like acid driven profile.
