Nose and palate both provide a fruit forward cassis, blackberry, dried plum, hint of coffee and distinct old world tinged forest leaves. Mainly new world style, but harkens back through the tannins and forest undertones to an old world origin. Makes sense given the lineage. This will benefit greatly from some aging, but maybe not too many years as tannins are already soft and rounded.

Kind of a soil blackberry nose. Dark fruit taste, medium acidity. Alcohol is well hidden behind the fruit. A peppery finish. A little green maybe some decanting would help with that. Not complex would pair well with steak. Overall a good effort. Price is a big plus.
Day 2 wine is quite a bit more silky and more bold. Still quite good.

Strong hints of bell pepper, tobacco and oak. Not overly complex or deep but it is initially flavorful without a lingering finish.
