From a nice looking bottle with a VTS fill, this wine looked surprisingly young with a red/purple center and light red rims. The medium intensity nose of cherries, mint, brown spices, and roasted meat was attractive.
In the mouth, this wine was ripe and rich, verging on slightly overripe. It had very good acidity and excellent length. While not wildly complex, this wine had an excellent mouth-feel.
I see no reason to wait.

Faint and lightly earthy; very mature; some blackberry.
