Last couple TNs pretty much nailed this on the head. Doesn't seem quite up to the WS mark but decent value.
#62 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2019 Big and fresh-tasting, with concentrated dark plum, dark currant and black olive flavors. Asian spice and dark chocolate notes on the muscular finish. Drink now through 2024.

Somewhat green and herbal upon opening but improved substantially on Day 2. Nose of black fruits, toasted cedar and vanilla bean. Juicy acidity on the palate with notes of tart blackberry, tobacco, cacao nibs, coffee and tar. Grippy tannins and a dry finish. Overall a nice value. 88 pts.

4th Saturday Group (R&S's): Double blind. Darkest color of the flight. Black fruit, spice and black raspberry qualities. Adds a peppery spice tone along with blue fruit and black cherry. Guessed malbec. (R&S)
