Tart, earthy. Fine w/food, but kind of meh. Usually a pretty reliable entry level wine, but this one didn't do it for me.

Drinking a wine at the end of it's optimum window leaves you with so many questions and lights a fire to discover the real ABC. I will find more.

Big fan of this vintage. Great on the nose and very smooth finish. Felt low on the acids and I liked it!
