(over 2 years ago)spice and generic ripe fruit on the nose and pallet. High acidity. Above average wine for the price. I like it but I'm finding my tastes are too rich for this price range

(over 2 years ago)Highly tannic - this sucked all the moisture out of my mouth, but not in an unpleasant way. I wouldn't call it "quaffable", though. An amusing wine - would easily compete with heavy, spicy foods. An interesting experience for $7, but I wouldn't pay more than that.

(about 1 month ago)Big wine for such a cheap price. Bouquet is fairly crude - first pour is rough, almost vermouthy (new word!). But after a little breathing, this wine mellows quickly. Lots of berry, tannin - for some reason, I think of that big fat ogre-guy in the Harry Potter movies. This'd be wine he'd drink then smack his lips and say, "Arrrgh." First notes are even, nice - mid notes really bring out the berry, but the finish is too heavy for a wine to enjoy alone. Food is essential with Osborne Solaz and I'd be sure to include bread or crackers with that to soak up the cab-ishness. I wish I knew more about this wine and its vintage so a better comparison could be made. However, I'd say this wine is very much comparable to a stout cab and you'll end up drinking it because A. you like the logo (black bull) or B. you're cheap and got a good deal or C. this was a gift. However, DEFINITELY LET THIS STUFF BREATHE before drinking. Just as I'm writing this, my 20min-old glass is improving...
