Color: dark ruby Nose: Raspberry, sour cherry, with floral notes and graphite minerality. Also a bit of earthy funk reminiscent of many Monastrells. Medium bodied and quite grapey, then turning very dry with rustic and chewy tannins taking over. Also a blast of peppery spice and the minerality showing through in the finish. Good purity, yet fairly disjointed and a bit rough.
Day 2: Floral & meaty notes intermingling on nose, still fairly rustic & chewy - but less so. Also showing some licorice in the finish.

Tasted at the store. Very grapey in nose and mouth. Short, unpleasant finish.
