Opened, and stayed the same pretty much the entire time. A solid well blended wine with chewy, tans, and fully mature and ripe flavors of what you would completely expect of a Bordeaux style blend. Savory and slightly earthy flavors, very good.

Good. Solid. A bit overpriced. Pleasant with tannins and red fruit.

Tasty. Almost like a Zinfandel in juiciness and very drinkable.

Good structure. Nice tannins. Too young to drink. Let it sit longer. I bet it will be better on day 2.
