A nice smoky / meaty element on the nose, linking with dark fruit and violets and a little vanilla, complex and integrated.
Balanced palate, with less complexity than the nose (it's mainly austere dark fruit), but definitely encourages another sip. Being picky there is a little vanilla here as well (over-familiarity breeds contempt with that flavour in wine), but it's thankfully more background than foreground. Little in the way of tannins, but nicely refreshing acidity.
Impressed by this, considering it's relatively inexpensive
