Fully resolved and drinking well -- Peppery like a Zinfandel, bright plummy fruit notes, mildly tannic, completely ready to enjoy and will mellow and fade from here. Bit of a bargain at USD 15 or so.

Dark inky red in the glass. full bodied or near it, heavy alcohol prune on the nose. Dark fruits on the front and mid palate with hints of floral and spice. tight acid and tannin early on, it still tastes raw/young to me even at 1hr after opening.
softening nicely with more time, at 2 hours still improving fast, but the bottle is now empty.. Think this has many years ahead of it.. like 7 or more

About what you would expect from a $20 cab.
