Pop and pour, and consumed over 2 days. Black with red edges. The nose has a lot of garrigue, mushrooms, good red fruit and a lingering finish with a touch of heat. While in glass, the acid starts to come out, as well as what I will describe as "weirdo Italian varietal" character. It struck me as a rustic wine you could drink by itself, but it went a lot better with food. No change on day 2.

Been a liittle lax on adding tasting notes as of late. Here's one that stood out if nothing else than its a unique variety. 3rd Lagrein I can remmber tasting. Ink black; lights out dark in the glass. Lots of dusty wood showing on the nose but the palate is juicy light up front with blue/black fruits. Tail has nice tannins; not harsh but definitely noticable. Picked up for mid teens; worth trying at that price.

In a word: cherry liqueur. Delicious.
