Nose is a 5 and it drinks like a 3. Profound orange rind and stewed plum and liquid vanilla along with oversweet rotting fruit on the nose. Barnyard and port and cooking sherry and Guinness on the palate. Heavy sediment. Minimal tannins. Smooth on the tongue and dry. First few seconds of the pour look orange with a rust ring in the glass - and full glass ultimately a dense deoxygenated blood red with signet rust ring at the edges.

Pretty awesome for the price. Clean fruit style, mostly red, no barnyard. Fine palate adding with provincial spices. Lacking concentration of higher bottlings but perfect mid week wine.

Open and let breathe for 30 to 60 minutes. Nice red fruit flavors and a decent wine. Great value.
