Nose of dark fruit & some spice. Sour berries & a bit of rhubarb really come through on the palate, with a good balance of oak & tannins. Medium-length finish.

When I first opened this, it was a bit cold and had a cheap tanginess to it I didn't like. However the second day that had disappeared and it was drinking pretty well.

I agree with the other tasting notes on the nose; green pepper definitely there. Good bottle for the price: even mouthfeel, no hard burn. Will stock up for "everyday" consumption.

Drank bottle over a couple of nights. 2nd night was a bit better. Distinctly better 2nd night as the flavors mellowed. Distinct berry nose. Passable as a simple everyday wine.

Lots of artificial spice, pepper, and sour cherry in the aromas. Jammy berry and cherry palate. Spicy aftertaste. Not memorable.
