User Tasting Notes

Score:	85 points
Notes:	Tried this wine again and it was better. Good tannins and nice sweetness. Long taste and good coolor. It is ready to drink right now as I expect it has reached its peak.

Score:	80 points
Notes:	Started off musty, but after a few hours started to open up. Still not that balanced with very strong pepper. I would expect more from an 1985, but it was only $40 US. ;-)
