Especially for the price, I thought this was excellent. COncentrated but not flabby or overdone, but still a little young and primary. Finish is fairly long but the tannins are still a bit sharp. Some pencil shavings on the nose along with plum.

Dark Ruby, some unripe fruit on the nose. Very hot, probably could do with a longer decant to burn off some of the Alcohol. Tannins are smooth and integrated
