Bloody bargain, this wine. Bought a bunch over the years, often close to the $10 mark, and can't believe how well they cellar. A bit too aggressive at release - give it a year or two to settle. This one is concentrated and juicy with a touch of pepper, although the oak is dominating a bit now and giving it a hot finish. You wouldn't call it elegant and it's not a style I enjoy much anymore, but plenty will like it.
