Incredible aromas of smoked meat, mushroom and lesser notes of dark cherry, herbs and earth. A pleasant bit of funk on day one blew off on day two. The palate matches but with more emphasis on the dark fruit and earth with the meat and herbal notes there but taking back stage. Medium tannins and light acidity. Paired absolutely perfectly with barbeque. I don't see this aging for a long time especially with its plastic closure, but is delicious now even given its youth.

Pleasantly inky, ripe plum, smooth. Very nice. Goes well with nongrilled beef.

Tasted like a cheap VA Cab and had no balance with regard to acidity or tannins.
