Decanted for ca 1/2 hour. Vibrant nose of jammy cranberry and raspberry. Full bodied on the palate, quite smooth with gentle tannins, delivering surprisingly balanced fruit of cranberry and tart plums with firm acidic backbone and some heat on the finish. With more airtime it turned slightly more austere, perhaps from the oaky notes slowly emerging. Overall better than expected.

Nice fruit and smooth, though this is a one-note melody, not a symphony, or even a jazz trio.

Good fruit (mostly red), but rather simple and with a touch of heat.

Lots of alcohol up front. Ok after opened for a while. Decant. Not bad for closeout, but would not pay $10.
