Interesting wine. Funk on the nose w PnP. Hint of cherry Cabernet notes. Likely better, younger, but smoothed out after 24 hrs in the fridge. More balanced, light bodied, no funk, at that point.

Decanted. Crystal ruby in the glass. Nose of bright red fruits follows through nicely on the palate. Somewhat one-dimensional wine, but full of expressive red fruit not overburdened with oak, and also with a nice, dense core and good length. Certainly a better wine than the current CT score of 87+ at this writing, but perhaps not a great value at $50 retail.

From memory: a well-made wine with a good balance of fruit and acid, a slight coconut aroma but avoids caramel, long finish.
