Opened and served at cellar temperature. Pale red, no bricking. Spicy nose, and some light earthiness. Muted notes of red raspberries. An unpleasant evocation of something burning. On the palate, no fruit, drying tannins, and some bitterness. Off-balance and lacking in acidity. Feels excessively alcoholic. Short, alcoholic finish.

Opened for three hours before consumption. Very dissapointed with this purchase despite the incredible discount. Nose was obnoxiously overpowered with a rubbing alcohol aroma. Some muted medium light red raspberries, spice and earth. Palate shows more of this awkward hot alcoholic flavor with the same one dimensional berries and earth. Pass. Big time! Might have been showing poorly?
