Decanted for about an hour. Big fruit aroma (mixed berry jam) as pouring it into the decanter. In the glass, aromas of plum, blackberry, earth, mushroom, and tobacco. On the palate, dark fruits are there up front, followed by some earthy flavors and a tinge of sweet tobacco(?) before the acid and mildly chalky tanins come in at the end.

Initial nose had a touch of barnyard and earth with some black tea. Blew off after about an hour, and left with some red fruit (raspberry) and tea. On the palate there was a nice pop of red cherry and sour cherry, with some raspberry and black tea. Nice balance of tanin and acidity. Was good with food (pizza) and by itself.

disappointed with this wine, possibly flawed. too much french oak, too much acid and a lot of stewed fruit notes.
