Medium ruby color, not much nose. Dried cherry and currant fruit, quickly gave way to strong tannins. Gave it an hour in the air and it mellowed some. Never really got to what I'd call balanced.

This one was good but not worth the price in my opinion. Tannins overpowering at first, but it did open up and become pretty decent after > 2 hrs, so if you open one in the near term plan for a long decant. After a few hours it balanced out quite nicely.

Very enjoyable with steak dinner. From initial 13 to 16 appellations these wines are among our favorites.
