A very nice wine at this price point. Well made and richly aromatic. PGB67's description is right on: brooding feeling with black currant and plum. The tannins are still there but starting to resolve. Nothing particularly revelatory, but a very solid $18 bottle of wine.

Always enjoy discovering new producers and this one seems like a winner - well made and authentic wine, with a dark brooding nature but enough vibrancy to make it an easy drinker - currants and black plums on the aromatic and flavor profiles, set upon a balanced frame - still quite tannic, and you could wait on this, but it was quite satisfying now too, as the tannins gave it some authenticity and grip.

Now that it has lost the makeup of its youth, it is just unclean, short and bitter. Sulphuric, too. Pitiful winemaking. Avoid!
