Opened but not decanted ~2 hrs before drinking. Fruit has faded but more came through over the next 2 hrs. Nearly black in the glass, plum notes and a little blackberry on the palette. Past prime but still very enjoyable.

Pnp. Nose is simple fruit, mainly raspberry. Palate is raspberry and wood, with some soft (M-) tannin, low acid, medium body. Very simple, fruit and oak, very little structure. The bottle describes this as crafted for the modern palate, fruity, with soft tannin...they’re not wrong. I paid $10 for this in a mystery case and it’s not a good value at that price; at $40+ the qpr would be as bad as the name. 4.8/10

Aromatically compelling and balanced with a well-tuned balance between oak and fruit. This outperformed expectations, and had the dinner guests buzzing. Depth of flavor without being overt, and plenty of nuance and seduction.

Let the wine breath for an hour and its flavors transform from oak to dark chocolate
