Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Plush black plums waft out of the glass wrapped in a subtle smoky spice. This is pure liquid luxury. Full-bodied and smooth with aromas of blackcurrant and cassis. Beautifully structured and balanced. An amazing dinner party wine. Food matches: AAA New York striploin steak with a creamy mushroom sauce.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Deep colour; a powerful, medium- to full-bodied wine, ample black fruits and firm tannins marching arm in arm down the long palate and into the aftertaste;
balance is the key
