Shy nose at first, but it did open up. I pick up tart cherry, a bit of alcohol, and some herb/mint.
The taste is lovely, even if the tanins are still a touch too noticeable. Again, I get tart cherry, but like the filling of a pie, and raspberry as well. It’s got fun complexity of flavors and the finish lingers. Maybe I’ve had a touch too much, but I would say 93 pts. I got this as an inexpensive pickup with good reviews from a flash site and it did not disappoint. I wish I had bought more, and if I did I would lay them down for another 3 years to start.

Expo whiteboard marker, baking spice, and damp earth on the nose. A bold full bodied wine with plenty of alcohol somewhat muddling the cherry, plum, and vanilla flavors.

Somewhat disappointing! Just didn’t do anything for my pallet. Flat on the front and flat on the back. Fruit is on the dry side with notes of clove.

Lively acidity, pretty in your face but not overboard, red fruit, vanilla, little hot on alcohol, overall solid quality especially for the price.
