  Pop and pour...
  Relatively dark cherry red, with translucent rim - 4
  Subtle strawberry and acetone on the nose - 12
  Fruit-forward (semi-dry red fruits), followed by spicy-pepper -17
  Smooth, soft tannins, with a spicy-hot (alcohol) finish -8
  After opening & aerating, I chilled this thru 1st glass - this opened the wine with a more attractive blended palette.

  PnP...first glass through aerator then chilled bottle.
  Dark ruby color (4) with dark fruit (blackberry & raspberry) on the nose. (12)
  Bold, but not too big - a little dry but fruit forward, sweet but not overly - well balanced with medium tannins full of vanilla and oak. (17)
  Nice smooth finish with well-balanced acidity and tannins. (8)
  Second glass was nicely chilled and cuts the initial dryness, opens with with more fruit (plum & blueberry), and the tannins are more prominent.
  Enjoyed with baked pasta al forno - great pairing.
