There's a fruitiness but it's pretty subdued. The flavor overall is pretty quiet. — 10 years ago

It's a fine wine (said in an Irish accent). Nothing great, but not at all bad. Fairly dry, in a good way. It's neither remarkable nor extraordinary. Looking for a cheap chianti? This is what you need, mate! — 10 years ago

It's fruity without being sweet. Pretty refreshing compared to other reds I drink. I could have this all night and not complain. — 11 years ago

Berries! Like eating blackberries, tart and juicy off the bush. Slight tannins at the end. Loving this for the price!

It's a smooth wine but the flavor is very sharp. Hits the back of your mouth hard. It's not standing up well to our spicy Thai salad, but on it's own it's a tasty dry wine. If you're spending $20+ you could do worse than to pick this up. — 11 years ago

Silky smooth texture. Makes my mouth water with the brightness at the end. I like this wine a lot. It was my fault going heavy on serrano pepper in our dinner, which over powers the Sancerre.

It's a pretty bottle. After that it's all downhill. Smells bad. Like gasoline. Flavor is not much better. Pass on this one, folks. — 10 years ago

I'd say there's nothing remarkable about this wine. It's pretty inoffensive. Which is a pretty offensive way to be if you're a wine. It's pretty dry. If say the flavor of this wine is dry. I'd drink it again but I wouldn't necessarily buy it again. — 11 years ago

The acids hit the back roof of my mouth and are pretty harsh. I do like the meaty and earthy flavor in the middle, but then the aftertaste goes acidic for me again.

It smells like old wood. Makes it seem refined. But maybe I only feel that way cause it's 12 years old. A smoky taste. But after swallowing it feels full in my belly. Heavy. Light in the mouth but heavy in the belly. — 11 years ago

High tannins, leathery, smokey, but also fruity with plums and dark berries. It is a very special wine and a rare treat to taste.

Fruity. Juicy. Spicy. Flavor. Color. This wine is all these things. But it's not loud if you can believe it. This wine will take a back seat to any meal. But each swig is a delight. Another great pickup from cork dork. — 11 years ago

This wine is very nice with our pasta meal. It's juicy and satisfying yet also fairly soft. When we purchased it cork dork recommended it to Malbec drinkers and I understand why. Yummy, but can be a substitute for water just like in Argentina.

It's not overly robust. Maybe a little spicy. But that could be the shrimp. It's got a sort of turpentine taste to it. Do people call that tannins. Anyway, not too bad. — 11 years ago

Yeah, it's tannins. Makes my tongue dry, I like it with dinner! It's pretty bold and juicy.
