Not only is this a great value, but it exhibits completely different character from many of its competitors. It starts off smoky, then adds raspberry fruit and builds layers of savory complexity on top, culminating in a finish that features crisp berry flavors and tapenade. Full bodied and intense, with moderate tannins; drink now–2008.——J.C.(11/1/2011)—— 91
