Pretty ruby color. Ripe, chocolaty bouquet with underbrush and herbs. This is firm, well integrated, displaying good black fruit, a plummy back end, and enough structure to allow improvement in the glass.

it only balanced out after a very long decant. initially it was heavy, muddy, cooked fruit and rough.
nose: dried strawberry, hibiscus tea, faint mint
palate: more hibiscus and strawberries. good fruit, on the ripe side but very balanced with good acid and chewy skin tannin. quite refreshing and juicy. well poised. medium aromatic finish with nice grip.
it's yummy if a bit simple and nothing really keeps me from enjoying it. also not overoaked so extra points for that.

Nice moderately complex nose with good fruit; palate unbalanced slightly high EtOH and a bit flabby. 85
