Fruit, acidity, minerality. Closed too tannic at first. Needed air. Confected, spicy, reduced. Watery finish, though. Some nice funk on the nose, but not really balanced.

What purity of fruit! What delightful spice! Medium bodied, dark hued black-blue-crimson, black pepper, energized high tone fruit amid bramble, licorice, and sweet oak spice. Here the oak accents the whole without overpowering the fruity aromatics or sappy juices. Good length. An unusually harmonious wine, all of a piece. Wonderful buy for about $20! I'd enjoy it now.

Russk. SIC at Villagio. Good value. Smells like a young wine, young Rhone especially. Great mouth feel.
