I thought this wine was ok, not bad, not that good. What I often focus on is balance, and this was a little unbalanced. It had a moderately strong tannin finish, with mild acid, and although there was certainly finesse to the finish, the mid palate with mild black fruit wasn't strong enough to take you on to the finish. Air only seemed to make the mid palate weaker. Would not buy again.

Pours blood red, completely dark with even legs. Nose is wood ember smoke, sugared raisin, black cherry, lychee, and plum. Palate is more aged raisin, cherry, vanilla, and blueberry in mid palate. This wine has a unique, inviting structure, leading to healthy acid, tannin and fruit. Great balance and QPR.

Not sure what to say about this - it did feel unbalanced to me, with some cherry and gravel, but just not that distinctive or interesting.
