  What not to love about this wine. Beautifully aromatic, fruity (almost jammy until it opened up a bit), enveloping mouth feel. Nice earthiness and minerality. Exemplifies the taste and experience of a "crafted" wine with so much going on in the glass. Exceptional wine, extraordinary value.

  Pleasantly fruity nose, full mouth feel. Not terribly complex, but very good for the price.

  Especially for the price ($17), a very fun, heady wine. Drank over three nights. Day one flavor combined nuttiness with bit of sweet, almost brandy-like, with some mineral. Aroma had slight cocoa - barely sweet with a touch of earth. Day two it had evolved a bit, with flavor of prune and touch more acidity. Aroma was more of mint, but still earthy. Tasted and smelled a bit hot in both days one and two. Day three the texture became a bit more velvety, flavor featured a touch of sandalwood. Aroma was more blackberry, and still a bit hot, though on the whole it was starting to fall off a bit. Highly recommend this table wine for the price, and for how much it developed over three days.

  An unseemly deal!!! Good fruit, medium weight, had it last night amongst several bottles so can't refine the notes now, sorry.
