  Not a terrible wine, with aromas of smoked grape jelly and black olive. A little hollow on the palate with some acidic red berries and smoky accents is enjoyable but not all that special. Medium(+) acid and sticky medium(+) tannins belie this wine's youth. Unsure of potential but I would not hold my breath. "Good," 84/100.

  On the nose, I get powerful aromas of ripe plum and white pepper, and a subtle hit of dried herbs. The palate has a really nice initial hit of mouth-watering acidity, followed by blueberry and plum. The fruit is lean and juicy, not ripe and jammy. Mid-palate hits some nice savory notes and leads into some decent tannins and a medium finish that continues the dried herb and dark fruit theme. A medium weight wine to pair with food for sure.
