This was tightly wound the first night, so much so that it surprised me. Tangy, acidic and tannic. It really opened up on the second night though, growing softer in all respects while maintaining verve and delivering waves of dark red fruit. Right or wrong, I often assume a generic red blend will offer less character, but this thing is firing on all cylinders. Quite nice.

Deep ruby with medium fast thin legs. Youthful still, it is aromatic in aroma of fruit and tobacco. Fresh acidity, medium tannins that are smooth and firm. Good mouth feel of mellow smoky fruit and chocolate. Medium finish with a linger of raspberry taste. First impression - heavenly.
