Good fruit, good acidity, clear pomegranate (including the white rind!). Solid 90! I should downgrade my last 90 this is better. Good deal! 😀😀 — 11 days ago

Good … but a LOT of baking spice, literally almost tastes like mulled wine. Too much I think, I prefer a little more chocolatey tannin and fruit in my Rioja. — 2 months ago

Always a good value and tasty! A little more balanced and less “mulled wine” than I recall from earlier vintages. — 6 days ago

Pop and pour through a decanter.


NOSE: a little Bordeaux toffee, dry wood, leaves…maybe a little paprika? Fruit is muted cherry.

TASTE: like the nose, wood, leaves, cherry. A little cedar, maybe some of the cherry. Nothing off about it, just tastes a little simple and thin. Tea like tannins. Fine for $7 or whatever I paid. Tastes honest. 88. — 15 days ago

Eh, cheap fragrant Merlot taste. Not for me.

EDIT: I wish I had seen my earlier note and not bought it again! Same conclusion. — 2 months ago

Some good breadiness and bitterness but a little too golden-apple juicy. 88. — 6 days ago

No real notes, but thought it was pretty good. I remember some earthiness. Good deal for $10. Just squeaks into a 90. Worth trying again with more care. — 13 days ago

Black raspberry and leather and chocolate and earth/mushroom and a little pine. Saint Emilion. Lovely. 92. — a month ago
