The 93 points the label claims really aren’t there, James Suckling way out there, lol. Maybe he tasted the wine a long time ago. At 7 years, it seems a little bit tired.

Licorice, dark fruits and tobacco. Structured w firm tannins -- this can definitely use decanting --- improved considerably w time in the glass. Had it with pasta, but think meat would be a better match for the tannins. Could also probably use more time in the bottle.

#garyveewineclub licorice, cherries, and some dark fruits with firm tannins and lingering acidity. Quite fruit-forward on the palate. The oak is unbalanced, but pairs very well with meaty tomato sauce pastas.

Not my style at all. So dry, almost bitter. $14.99 from Costco

Great find at Costco. Good structure, lots of ripe fruit and acid balance. Great with pasta and Ragu. Decant it for an hour and you will be pleased.

Decent dried cherry & tobacco leaf. Surprising freshness for lack of fruit. Good balance & tannic grip. Quite drinkable for a poor vintage.

хороший фруктовый аромат - вишневый ликер, черные ягоды и сливовые косточки - продолжающийся во вкусе, среднее тело, легкие танины. Приятно. 89
