Not a good wine but this 11 year old bottle was totally drinkable.

earthy and a little raw, but distinctive and quite good with lamb shanks

Dark cherries and a hint of cocoa on the nose. Warm and spicy. The acidity and tannins had balanced with the additional aging. A long finish that complimented the pasta al forno and garlic bread.

Choked down a couple sips. Did not improve with food or time. Dumped it down the sink.

Balance was lacking, more acidic than expected. Medium to light finish.

Decanted and let breathe for two hours. Deep nose. Hefty on the palate, probably best with a spicy mussels marinara or similar. Not for the faint of heart!

Deep ruby core with light ruby rim. Popped and poured - ripe black cherry, violets, tobacco, on the nose. Surprised by the soft mouthfeel given the wine's composition; I'd have guessed a higher proportion of merlot and syrah based on the this wine's structure. Balanced acidity and just enough backbone make this wine easy to pair with a wide variety of dishes. Ready to drink now through 2013 latest. Notes of oak-imparted vanilla make up this wine's medium-short finish.

Opened the bottle from my cooler and it nearly exploded, foaming out onto everything. Took out a second bottle (opening it outside this time) and it did the same thing. Took a quick taste of what was left and it might as well have been vinegar. There was no agitation and it was chilled to 58 degrees. Very disappointing.

Nice fruit, tannin - even better when I tried the open bottle 2 days later.

Medium bodied, leaning towards fruity and a nice compliment for Chinese food.

A very nice mild red wine. Worthy of drinking again.

Had with a cheesy chicken spaghetti dish. The wine held up ok to the spices in the dish.

Needed a little time to open up. Good fruit, well balanced and a nice finish. Excellent with pizza or pasta with red sauce.
