Attractive mature red plum color. Initial pungency on the nose, but, then, a mélange of tree fruit aromas. Red cherry flavor, held back by, almost, a peach influence, on introduction to the tongue. The wine slides back over the tongue and under the palate without much revelation. Some dustiness on the finish. It is a medium-bodied, easy-to-drink wine. I can see this as a good accompaniment to a duck or a pork entree.

Pours densely translucent purple. Aromas of red and blue fruits, some olive, prominent pepper. Palate of red fruit and (mostly) blue fruit, pepper, hint of olive, nice acidity. A little alcohol heat in the finish. This is a nice wine, but was expecting more. It is maybe still a little rustic in its youth, and may come together more with a few more years - I probably popped it too early.
