I purchased this at Trader Joe's and rather enjoyed this. Lots of bread basket and birds nest on the nose with a distinct flavor of flaming barrel of garbage and blueberries on the pallet.

Pretty good, much improved with airing. Certainly the best wine I've ever bought to get a free decanter

Strong tannic structure and plum flavor. A little off dry.
