Really tight, hot, and overly anise flavored at first pour, but after 1.5 hours it has blossomed. Sumptuous blackberry, tart cranberry, and gentle spice box traverses fore to aft of the palate. A bit of tobacco leaf at the back with a sprinkle of white pepper that lingers with cacao nibs, vanilla, and a slight nutty flavor.
Day 2 Smoother. Remains balanced. Fruit notes slightly diminished, tannins a bit softer, but finish remains long and elegant.

the wine was rich and complex with vibrant aromas of blackberry and spices, flavors of red fruit and vanilla. was a smooth drink after about a half hour and drank well the second day too. Good value at Costco for the $10.00 or so. I will buy more.
