N: Very slightly closed; Cherries, toast, with some earth?
P: LM, poss Med, body; Almost swtish frt met by some mid-P structure, which only partially resolves by the Long, spicy, very slightly astringent finish. COULD improve through '17, then drink nicely through the end of the decade. Nice QPR @ the tasted $7.99! 85 pts RJonWine (5/1/16) and 84 pts WE (7/1/17) with "Best Buy" @ $8. [As of early Jan '20, wine-searcher still shows 2 sources @ $10 & $15].
