Really good on the first evening, this nice style I associate with 2009. Soft, supple, red berry fruit. A few tertiary elements but still very fruity on the whole. Great value for your money. Unfortunately did not keep well overnight at all. Too bad.

P&P. Medium ruby-garnet, narrow widely-spaced legs @13% abv. Medium(-) aromas of cherries, cedar notes, graphite, rather closed. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium focused tannins, medium alcohol and medium body. Medium flavors of red cherries, red berries, pepper notes, oak, bellpepper notes. Supple texture, structured, firm grip, with some Medoc austerity. Good length focused finish, smooth, elegant.

Very nice wine for the price. Meaty, cigar, green pepper a bit, not incredibly well rounded, still some tannins, as you would expect a young 2009 wine, but for $28 a very nice wine.
