| Very herbacious nose that screamed of unripe fruit and just a hint of horse smell on the fringes. In the mouth the wine displayed a medium body with firm enough tannins to provide good structure. Flavors of blueberry were present as well as an artificial fruit flavor that finished with a touch of anise. The unpleasent nose did blow off somewhat as the night went on. Although unimpressive this was not bad at $10 and it displayed better body then most bottles in this price range that are of this variety.

| TCK, even with the very herbacious nose... it still warrants an "almost very good" rating?
Anything that I deem "herbacious" I really find as a detriment to the wine.... but that's just me. I look at it as a serious flaw. | |

| The nose was not a good judge of the flavor. In the mouth the wine displayed blueberries and anise that were quite nice. Also, the well structured body helped.
I don't always consider herbs a flaw, but they were here. There have been wines - some good Bordeauxs, that have shown hints Thyme and Sage and I found it intriguing.
