So good with Crostini: prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, garlic rubbed and olive oil drizzled toasted baguette. With Spanish green olives on the side. A favorite!

Heavy alcohol nose which masked some other notes. I let it sit for about an hour and the alcohol note dissipated leaving behind a light cherry and an earthy veggie note. Drinking kept the veggie, cherry and an almond note. A bit of tannin on the finish. Not bad for $15.

Decanted 4 hours. Nicely balanced, fruity w great structure. Slight tannin bite at end but otherwise pretty clean medium finish. Didn't detect any overt "hotness". Apparently I like it more now compared to when I drank it on shorter decant time in 5/2016. Great QPR. Smidge sweet but nothing overpowering. You wouldn't notice if paired w food. Needed a bottle that would "cover all the bases" w a multi course meal. This fit the bill!

Leathery, with an aroma I cannot place. Not bad but I would probably pass if this came along again.

Actually my wife likes this more than I do. It's fruity, simple, quite sweet in the finish, a weekday quaffer.
