Wine could use a nice 1 hour decant to bring out all the flavors, textures, acidity, etc. Thin on opening, but changes so much with air! Beautiful dark red fruit with a nice lead pencil nose. Dark in the glass, moderate tannins and acidity remain begging for more years but I just had to drink this tonight. My preferred wine for numbing broken ribs.....a great wine at a great price point.
ps....even better with 2-3 hours of air! Add another point.

Deep and dark ruby red. A touch savory on the nose with leather, woody, dark fruits, anise, black cherries and slight twigs. Moderate tannins (6/10) and silky. Medium plus bodied with dark fruits, baking spices, black currants, black cherries, cinnamon, vanilla and a little mineral. Slightly dry with a medium plus finish. Drink till 2023.
