Complex, a bit deep, with a little spritz at the front, and very low in that grapy garnache thing; I would buy more at $10 or less. Drink soon, not years from now. Low in acid so not suited for all bright tomato-y lemony vinegary foods, but versatile and more characterful and with fewer faults than most other good-value reds.

Enjoyable bottle. Opened up and enjoyed at the long week while outside on a summer evening. Drank just above cellar temp. Popped and poured. Smooth, balanced, not super complex, medium body. Dark purple. Earth, minerals, blackberry on the nose. Not much fruit on the pallet, slight lean towards the dry side.

Dark purple in color. Opens up nicely and is very aromatic. Plum, dark fruit and spice, oak and leather come through in the taste. With a long cherry finish.

Dry and tart but not offensive. Would be excellent with rich food or as a complement to milk chocloate
