Tasted nice and smooth, a little too much oak flavor for me.

Hints of black cherry and notes of spice and chocolate. I may have let this one sit a little too long as it did not age as well as one might hope. But it still retained much of its character. Consider this a “drink now” next time.

Enjoyable, and always a safe choice. It won't impress anyone, but certainly won't offend either. A light wine that is easy to drink.

Probably a decent wine for pairing with a hearty meal. Not all that great by itself.
