Very enjoyable. It is a bit 'rustic', but has also lovely bright red fruit on the nose, some floral spice, balanced acidity, and some (pleasant) rubbery notes. Reminds me of nice Italian wine. Long finish.

I wanted to like this more than I did. Massive whiff of barnyard to start - Geoff said smelled like a cow's ass. Some savory herbs, smoke, and blue/black fruits on the palate, but finish is muddled, flabby and a bit short. Had a brief moment after 10 mins in glass when some cranberry and raspberry were starting to emerge but they died pretty quickly. Drinkable.

- Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of geranium. It's balanced. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish.
