Consumed blind. Deep purple color. Black raspberry & some herbs/spices on the nose. Very similar notes on the palate. Plush mouthfeel, very tannic, though very little acidity & little midpalate.

Loved it. Lots of dark fruits, berries, mints, tannins. Good nose, and nice finish. A totally in-your-face wine. There is nothing subtle about it. Flavors burst in your mouth like a finale of a Fourth of July fireworks. Nothing is held back. Definitely not for everyone. Paid $15. Worth every penny.

I get almost a washed-rind cheese note on the nose. On the palate, loads of blackberry, big tannins, and structure. I had just a taste at a tasting but picked up a few for home.
