Similar to the one opened at a tasting a couple of years ago, this didn't feel especially...together. Ripe fruit nose, decent structure, then dry/underripe fruit and stemmy qualities come into the finish, with a bit of heat beneath it. Some good components, but disparate and overshadowed by some lesser qualities.

Blinds with friends (Chicago, IL): Served blind and quickly panned by the group. This wine was a bit confused and out-of-whack. Overtly sweet fruit yet underripe green notes along with a chemical/artificial aftertaste. Not good.

Deep dark color with no bricking good flavor and some pepper, but still hot on finish. Held up for 2 days.

Good balance, light but thoroughly enjoyable with banana bread during COVID-19 Stay-At-Home days. A good casual drinking wine.

Late Night, After Dinner Blind Tasting (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Rich and extremely ripe in a manner that seemed a little too manipulated. Not exactly my style of wine. Others said it was terrible when they tasted it earlier in the evening.
