I opened this bottle and had a glass every night for four nights, and for me this was very closed off until night 3, and night 4 was when it showed its true colors. Aromas of dark berries and vanilla/caramel. On the palate, medium acidity and tannin, full body, dark fruit and well integrated oak flavors.

Bright ruby that is nearly deep in opacity and has high viscosity (14.5% ABV). The nose reminds me of Pinotage wines I drank early on in my wine career, they had a bit of a medicinal aroma along with tar-meets-the-road. Additionally I get dark berries, black plum, brambleberry, mocha, spice box and vanilla. The palate is a dry affair with medium (+) acidity and medium tannins. The full body shows off flavors of dark fruit, black cherry and nicely integrated oak. The fruit is quite ripe and passes itself off as a touch sweet on the initial attack but I doubt there's any RS. The finish is where it turns a touch tart, but I am loving the interesting wave of flavors that have come across. Medium length- it leaves me wanting to sip again. 90 points for this $20 bottling makes it a 5 star wine to drink till 2028. I'm pairing with chargrilled chuk, fries and a side salad.

Dry but not tannic. Earthy aroma.
Looking forward to drinking again.

Fruitier wine, cherry and plum tones, would compliment chocolate
