Popped and splash decanted. Medium purple color. Not overly aromatic with some blackberry and black currants along with a slightly green peppery note and a bit of toasty oak. Medium+ acid and tannin and a bit spicy on the finish. Probably more of a food wine than a casual sipper and certainly smoothed out a bit when paired with some hard cheese. Solid wine but lacks the complexity of cabernet sauvignon or franc or merlot.

Decanted 1.5 hrs. Nice nose. Smooth, softer tastes of red fruits evolving to darker fruits. Interesting & tasty bottle.

Young but already has smooth tannins with a little fruit/berry.
