I think this is a case of having a well-made wine, but the fruit quality being mediocre. Or maybe this wine was not meant to age. I don't know, as I did not try this in its youth. The balance is there, but depth is lacking and there isn't much "energy" here. Still, not a bad drink, just not remarkable.

Blinded this on some family members. Most found it to be a little too acidic ("sour") and indeed, at least a Med+ acidity. My one brother was thinking Piemonte Nebbiolo, but I told him "not close" and he eventually guessed Malbec from Argentina after ruminating a bit longer on the flavor profile. In any case, I thought this to be a nice food wine and actually quite nice.

Nice wine. Paired well with roasted cauliflower tacos. Yes, cauliflower. My wife made me eat it! Must say it was delicious.
