Better on day two than one. Day one had a harsh alcoholic note than railroaded everything. Day two yielded an expressive wine with a noticed alcoholic burn. Fruit fleshes out, but not to the extent I'd expect it to. Dark fruits, smoke, hot earth. Full body, med fruit acid, med + tannin. Lower glycol level. Not the most interesting wine, there are some flaws. For $15, solid offer.

Very extracted, dark in color. Youthful. Aromas of bruised black fruits and berries. A little funk. In the mouth, the wine is full body, +tannin, -acid, prevalent alcohol. No notice of oak/vanilla. Like the funk. Can do without the alcohol burn. Great QPR, gimme BBQ chicken, pork and this and I'm a happy camper.

Dark, brawny, harsh, tart, but fruit flavors hiding in the background. Very long finish. Noticeable tannis. Full body & mouthfeel. Will wait several more years before drinking the next bottle.
