Tried again from different store - not sure whats up, but different experience again. Lots of chalky/dusty qualities on nose. Some berry fruit and light earth on the palate with lots of dusty/cardboard notes. Even after one day this is there, and kind of drowns out palate. Serviceable, but wouldn't buy more.

A little different than my last note - but still meets my own QPR for what I would want from this style/type of wine - nice fruit, balanced with fruit/tannin...Not so much earth as what I said before...I would put a few on my shelf. @Banville and Jones in Winnipeg.
