Every time I've had this wine (all but one corked) it started out with some rich sweet berry and dark fruits. Then with air it quickly becomes much less sweet, less oplulent, with Herbs, pepper and dark chocolate. The somewhat charred taste of new oak might shorten its age-ability but all-in-all still excellent especially considering the price. - 91 points

I have seen this at Costco so many times and considered picking it up. If it is there next time I go I fear I will have no choice but to buy after reading your note.
