Color is medium ruby and clear.
Nose is medium +, smells carbonic (to tame Bobal?) with fruit and spice.
Palate is dry, medium body, medium acidity, medium flavor concentration. Its a "quiet" wine. Lindsay notes that it very strongly opens up as time goes on. I can kind of see that. Soft and supple but not in a big fruited sloppy kind of way.
Overall this is wine of good quality, with fruit, spice and a delicate sense of balance. Lindsay notes "cream of clove".
