Popped and poured at local Churrascaria and was a perfect pairing for all the Rodixio meats. Initially very intense black plum and other dark berry flavors but in a VERY refined way. As it opened up and paired with food, an amazing balance of fruit and acidity danced on the palate. A great wine for a milestone birthday celebration.

This wine is evolving into a very light bodied but full-fruit experience. Lots of initial muted earthiness/mushroom on the nose and palate and as it opened up, light red fruits with some smooth and some tart cranberry. Slight hint of smoke on finish which was initially short but expanded as the wine opened. Not decanted but opened and poured in glasses about 15 minutes before consumption and drank over the next 1.5-2 hours.

Good for the price, but very modern and heavily extracted.
