To me, this came accross as dark fruited and heavy. Fruit was rather clumsy and ill defined, lacked energy ans focus. Hints of alcohol poke through as well. Mostly black fruit with hints of roasted fruit. With air starts to show a coarse tannic backbone.

This needed a good hour to open up and for the pallet to match the promise of the nose. Pretty nose of dark fruits and a complex pallet with plums, minerals, a little earth and perhaps some dried meat. Good finish and nice mouthfeel. Really nice wine and at $30 a fantastic QPR. Would buy again

Smoky, meat blood and bacon with ripe plums, cherries, field herbs, coriander, milk chocolate, and a streak of minerality. Silky with fine tannins. Delicious and drinking well now.

Excellent QPR for an CndP. I'll definitely buy more if I can find it.
