  Can't say I agree with the other notes on here. I found this wine to be very enjoyable and straightforward.
  
  Very aromatic on the nose, warm red/black fruit. Opened up more over the course of an hour. Still some tannin present but chalky and nicely integrated at this point. This is in a good place right now but it will get a little better over the next few years.

  Can't say I'm a fan. All the flavors are out of balance here. Vanilla and only a little red fruit. Sharp alcohol comes and goes. Tannins became much more noticeable after an hour or so, drying out the taste without adding anything enjoyable.
