P&p; best with an hour+ of air in the bottle. Straightforward reddish fruit with a nice streak of black tea. Fairly light bodied/thin, with good acidity, and noticeable but moderate tannins. For drinking more than contemplating; good value at $9.
Day 4 (had saved half in a 375ml bottle in the garage and forgot about it): drinking well! Pungent and herbaceous with tea/mint/tobacco, fresh juicy red fruit, lightish-medium bodied/lithe... much more expressive than on day 1, and surprisingly fresher too. I'm really digging this; quite a nice surprise.

cheers - as the wine opened up there were strong metal and perfumed soap flavors coming through and the wine became unpleasant

Fresh red berry aroma with some tea and vanilla. Light fruit concentration with a velvety feel. Well balanced.

Fresh black raspberry, grapey, black tea, some Brett. Well structured, funky, silky. Good.
