He says :           2 stars

• Smells very oaky, black olives smell
• First it has a nice fruity, strong taste but it doesn't last long at all, shrivels back into a poor, barrel tasting aftertaste
• Tastes like fad tannins, and very dry
• At first, cherries, strawberries, licorice
• If you aerate it and wash it around, it's pleasant.. but when drunk, it's over
• Maybe too old
• Very poor choice, especially for the price

She says :           3.25 stars

• Pleasant smell : cherries, raspberries
• Also a smell of black olives
• Smooth and fatty first taste
• Very flavorful : round, red fruit but a bit light
• Pleasant when full in mouth, but a little bitter and very dry aftertaste
• No finish
• Corky taste?
