  Initially, odd medicinal/industrial alcohol aromas & taste!
  However, beyond that liquorice, honey & cherry.
  An interesting wine if nothing else.

  Cherry, black raspberry and plum. Tart and light tannins. Good QPR/pizza wine.

  This needed some time to open up. At the beginning, it was tart fruit and bitterness on the palate. On the second day it improved, more drinkable as the fruit mellowed to reveal more juiciness and some structure. Still rather average, despite the good reviews.

  At $8 a reasonable value, but tempranillo and malbec beat this out for me. A bit harsh and bitter but interesting. Earthy and a lot of fruit. Nice tannin. The finish was not that pleasant for me with interesting things in the back of my mouth.
