  Four days on, I don't recall this being too amazing.

  Very dry, very austere, tannic, a bit harsh but could soften with time.

  Appearance: medium(+) clear dark ruby/purple ruby color. No gas or sediment, fairly heavy tearing (14.5% ABV according to bottle). Make sure to give it a little bit to open up
  
  Nose: medium-intense aromas of clean red plum, chocolate, and lots of American oak (coconut, cardamom)
  
  Palate:Fresh, high acid, medium(+) tannins, medium(+) bodied, leaner textured, medium(-) complexity, average length, good balance, and an oaky and dark fruit finish. Medium-intense flavors of cranberry, red plum, and dark chocolate with hints of coconut.
  
  Nice and clean with lots of chocolatey oak!

  Not much on the nose and wet stone on the palate, was not otherwise expressive even after it was open for an hour or two, wouldn't purchase again.

  Black, plummy (slightly pruney) fruit with spice, smoke, and vanilla. The fruit is a little thinner than ideal, but I like how the tannins kick in to provide weight. I think it might improve slightly over the next two years as the oak integrates more, but who really cares for a $15 wine?
